Sewerage and Other Complaints
Presented by West COal
Street Citizens.
AN INADEQUATE SEWERAGE
A SPECIAL MEETING WILL BE HE'LL
TO CONSIDER A CHARGE AGAINST
AN UNDERTAKEN.
The Cooperation Of the Sanitary Com
mlttee Of Council Asked to Abate
NuiSanceS- Good Work by
the Health officer.

The Board of Health held regular
meeting in the Council chamber last
night and was attended by Messrs.
Malone, ,McHale, Miles and Spalding.
The board spent about two hours in dis
cussing reports of committees and com.
plants and decided to hold a special
meeting next Tuesday evening.
The committee on epidemics reported
that there are three cases of scarlatina
and one of diphtheria in the town, which
is considered very favorable state Of
affairs
Messrs. Knippie, Ploppert and Grad
well were in attendance at the meeting
and complained. that a drain, or sewer, on
Coal street, between Chestnut and Gilbert
streets, was inadequate for the purpose
for which it is being used, and that a
stable in that locality threatened to be-
come great public, nuisance, They
added that it is now almost impossible to
live in the neigh borhood on account of
the nuisances. After discussing the
matter at some length the board decided
to inspect the properties and request the
sanitary committee of Council TO accom-
pany it, TO see what can be done.
Complaint was made that Undertaken
Snyder had made a burial without pro-
curing permit from the Board of
Health, and that the sexton of the Lithu
anian cemetery had failed to exact a
permit. 1t was decided to notify the
undertaken and sexton to appear before
the next meeting OF the board and show
cause why the fines prescribed by the
rules should not be- imposed. 1t was at
first suggested that summary action be
taken, as the undertaken was before the
board once before and promised to
observe the rules strictly.
The board is evidently determined to
hereafter handle, without gloves, all peo
pie who do not observe the rules, as the
board has been in existence long enough
and notice of the regulations has beer
sufficient for the public TO know what is
required. More than this, the summer
season will not allow any laxity in sani
tary measures.
Health Officer Miles made very
lengthy report, in which he showed {
good months service Notwithstanding
the winter weather had not sufficiently
broken to adm very effective work. Th'
report showed that the officer abated
thirty six nuisanees. He had six privy
wells, ten asa bins, five yards, two cellars
two hog pens, stable and three houses
cleaned and improved and required thu
Abatement of a number OF general nuis
ances. The officer found West Centr
$ rect dealer off, ring for sale dressed
poultry that was not fit for use and hat
the stock removed. Disinfectants wer
used by the officer ip two houses in which
diphtheria had existed.

The people of the United States are
itching for war. and it does not matter
much which way the guns are pointed so
that they are fired off and make noise.
Germany, England, Russia, Spain, any
country or anybody, will do, just so there
is death, devastation and carnage. Our

they are built for.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
On the islands off the coast of South
Carolina, the home of the sea island cot
ton, the reports tend to show a slight
increase in acreage, about 10 per cent.
over last year The weather is reDorted
favorable and the plant about as for,
ward as usual at this time of the year.
Up 10 july ~ the prospect for a large
crop was excellent; since that time how
ever, the farmers report ravages of a pc
culiar kind of insect with is doing some
damage upon several of the large cotton
plantations.
This insect is something entirely new
and battles all efforts to destroy il. Sneci
mems of the soil where the crop is thus
affected have been sent to the United
states authorities at Washington for anal
ysis. What the result upon the general
crop will be is difficult at this time to con-
lecture. The districts affected are the
islands of Johns, James, WARRINGTON and
Edisto, where the finest sea island cotton
is grown.
