with d sharp stick. ana as n rosul; there
appears 10 be quite a sensation ahead
in city affairs.
Dr. Falligant was making a tour through
the suburbs yesterday morning. when he
discovered shat tho wagons CT the sink
department we're dumping their loads on
the lands u Mr.. j. c. Brown, a Estil

miles Of the city limits AS an alderman
and chairman OF the health AMI cemetery
committee. Or. Taliglut considered Is

drivers on the wagons informed him that
they were acting under the orders OF Mr..
Buttimer DIR. Falligant drove TO the store
OF Brown Bros. at Anderson and East
Broad streets. where ne had an animated
discussion with Mr. J. c. Brown on the
subject. The conversation ended by the al

ing hauled out of his buggy by MIR. Brown,
who declared his intentions in no uncer-
tain Language.
Or. Fauigant drove to the city exchange
and al once went to the office OF Acting
Mayor Screven. A Morning News reporter
was in the office. Il have come to report
an outrageous state of affairs" said the
doctor This morning as l was driving in
the southern part OF the city l noticed
several wagons Of the O. +. NJ department
going out the White Bluff road. | asked
the drivers where they were going, and
one OF them told me that they were going
out TO Mr.. Browns place outside the lin
its ! knew that that was not the proper
place for them to go and l had spoken 10
Mr.. Buttimer sometime before about al
lowing his wagons 10 dump their loads too
near the city. and he promised me that II
should not occur again. j noticed also
that the barrels in the wagons We're not Sc
curely covered and that the filth was spill
ing from them into the streets. / deter
mined TO see for myself what they were
doing with the filth. A little later drove
out TO the neighbOrhood named and saw
the wagons going through gate into
field. Two of them had empted their con-
tents when / arrived and third was about
10 empty. I stopped the driver and told
him and the other. who had emptied his
wagon, that they must stop and take their
stuff elsewhere, otherwise l would
have them placed upon the docket ana
punished for violation Of the ordinances.
They told me that they were acting under
the orders Of Mr.. Buttimer in carrying
their loads there / found that a Mr.
Brown was farming the field and that he
was one of the firm of Brown Bros, at
Anderson and East Broad streets. Being
determined TO put stop to such fla
grant violation Of the ordinances, l drove
there to notify Mr.. Brown of the cOnse-
uuences. l found young man at the store,
and when l asked for the Brown who
farmed the field, stated that IL was his
brother, J. c. Brown. ] asked to see him,
but his brother said he was not there. /
stated very plainly that both Brown and
Buttimer had committed a serious viola
ton of the ordinances and that they would
both be punished for it. After talking
sometime with the young man, l was

sleeves rushed out the door and announced
that he was the Brown / was looking for.
and that II l had anything to settle with
him l could settle 1t right there. l repeat
ed what I had said to his brother. He was
very abusive and threatening in his Ian
guage. l got in my buggy and started to
drive off, when Brown rushed after me to
drag me from the buggy. l whipped up
and drove away. He followed, using abus-
i've language and calling upon me to stop
and have the matter out there. l told him
that / would settle the matter later
through the officers of the law"
Dr. Falligant requested that DIR. Brun-
her be sent for in order that he might call
his attention to the violation of the sani-
Falligant said: Il want you and your
whole force of inspectors to go out to Estill
avenue and investigate the state of affairs
there / think you will see something worth
your attention. The sanitary laws are be-
ing violated in a most outrageous manner
and the state of affairs is menace to The
health of the city. Filth and eXcremeni
are being dumped just outside the city
limits, causing a horrible stencil"
Or. Drummer did not seem to think Il
worth while to take his whole force of in
HDectors with him. The duties of the inspet
tors lay inside the city limits he said. He
had had complaints as to the management
