legged Nuisance on Valley Street.
Action by the Rough and Ready Fire
Company Causing Amusement

The American Degras and Chemical
Company's works on Valley street, a
short distance from Broadway, since their
location some three.years ago have been
complained of by residents in the inn
mediate vicinity. Foul odors ryising
from the establishment TO the detriment
of property is the complaint. Various
petitions have been presented to the city
officials, asking that the works be de-
clared a nuisance, but thus far they have
not been successful. The claim has been
made that property in the vicinity would
not rent because Of the existence of the
chemical works. But ID Is asserted on
reliable information thar in some in
stances landlords declined to rent their
tenements when there were applications
pending hearing on the matter, believ-
ing that with the houses standing idle q
better case could be esta blished against
the Degras works.
health win give another hearing on the
question.
