A number of teams in the employ of

count OF their vaults, and sink drains,

idence there is considerable feeling
evinced Mt the manner in which the man
ufacturcrs are allowed to dispose of the
filth from the tenement houses. The
place which is being nsed this year as
dumping ground is on the point of land
between the river and the stream which
runs from the Lippitt trench, low
piece of ground which is liable TO be over
ilowed by any considerable rise of the
river In which case the filth would be
washed into the river while, as il is,
