With the changing Of the refuse from
the glue factory at Swift's into the sanitary
sewer it is now thought that the Mud creek
nuisance has been ahatel. Since the change
was made there is Il noticeable difference in
the odors from the creek. and it is expected
that after a hard rain the creek will be
sufficiently cleansed so that there will be no
odor to speak of. All that will now run into
the creek will be the overflow from the
trcughs at the stock yards and the storm
water from h., n and Q streets. The investi-
cation of the sewer showed just what the
city engineer had predicted, that the packing
houses. and not the stock yards, were to
blame for the nuisance. Residents in the
southern portion of the city are pleased at
the action of the city authorities in forcing
an abatement of the nuisance.
