ON AN AVENUE.

NeighbOrs or James T. McGrath Make
 Complaint to Health Onicer O'FHarR.
 Town Health Oficer O'Hara is having a busy time this summer in adjusting differ ences among neighbors on account of the condition of hog pens in different parts of the town. Almost every other day some one is at his office with a complaint of this nature. and in every instance it has been found the action taken by people living in neighborhoods where pigs are being kept was warranted.
 To-day @ reporter of the DEMOCRAT &C., companied the health officer on a tour of inspection through Highland avenue. It is one of the most delightful places in Waterbury and it is a pity that anyone should think of planting 8 pig pen beside the residences which dot this beautiful thoroughfare. The pen complained of it maintained by James J. McGrath of Clark street, who rents a strip of land on Highland avenue from the agent of the Platt property. just beside the residence of c. Il. Robbins. The pen is a dilapidated looking old structure and while it has been there but month it has already caused considerable an- noyance tothe neighbors. There are aix from the place last Sunday was so offensive that the residents claim that they had to leave their homes and go visiting. One of the residents said he was complete- ly broken up on account of the smell and was not able toiattend to his work.
 The doctor made a thorough examina- ton of the case and after he had finished remarked: Well, of course it is only a hog pen and for such place it is not in bad condition, but it is not safe to have such a stench so near a family residence and I don't see what caa be done with those pens but order them all moved farther into the country where there will be no one near them" The place is about 100 feet from Mir Robbins house and the health officer promised to notify Mir Mo. Grath to remove the nuisance at once.
