Arising From the limerick Street
Sewer is Worse Than all other
NuiSanceS Combined.

A regular meeting of the Board of
Health was held last evening in the Coun
Gil chamber with Messrs. McHale, Miles
and Spalding in attendance. The
epidemic committee reported four cases
of scarlet fever and one case of diphtheria.
There were % deaths since the last meet
ing.
The nuisance committee reported hav
ing visited Pottsville to see the land
agents concerning dumping grounds, but
failed to effect a meeting will them.
Messrs. Robbins and Beddall com,
planned to the board that other property
owners in the vicinity of West Centre
street and Pear alley should be compelled
to connect their properties with the West
Centre street sewerage line, as they have
done.
This complaint led to instructions to
the nuisance committee to view the Bier
man, Hoffman, Wasley, Portz, Streigle
and Lessig properties on Pear alley, be-
tween Centre and Lloyd streets.
The nuisance committee stated that it
viewed the Kimmel sewer on Coal street
and Strawberry alley. They found that
it emptied on Strawberry alley, near
Catherine street, which is a thickly popu-
lated locality, and dangerous nuisance
is created.
Health Officer Miles called the boards
attention to the nuisance created by the
limerick street sewer. He stated that all
the nuisances in the town combined are
as nothing compared to this nuisance. It
has been viewed by the Borough Solicitor
and members Of Council.
During the week DR.. Church sent in
death certificate and no burial permit
was taken out Upon investigation il
was found that Undertaken O'Hara had
buried the corpse at Beaver Valley. Upon
this statement last night the board
ordered that written notice be served
upon Mr.. O'Hara to appear before the
board at It's next regular meeting to
answer charge of violating section IS Of
