burned out and refused permission to be re-
built, by which all of the present trouble
would have been iobviated.
When warm weather comes and with it an
odor from the accumulated deposit on the
South Capitol and G street wharves, the very
deople whose delicate senses; were outraged
by the smoke from the erematory will be
first to complain. AS in everything else,
