Many remarks have been offered
since the spring cleaning. which Was
made at the city's expense, of the
small strip of river bank which ex-
tends north of the bridge on the west
side of the river. The remarks We're
relative to the persistence with which
some of those whose property abutted
this strip, resumed the practice of u.s.
ing the said strip for general dump
heap. That resulted in the same condi-
ton as before the spring cleaning. But
the river kindly has swept the mess
of matter away There is little left,
with the exception of the only refuse
barrel on the dump, which rests not so
very far above the bridge, awaiting the
action Of sunshine and rain upon its
vegetable contents. One of the occu-
pants of the block says that, short
time before the recent freshet, be had
to close the windows on the river side,
so strong was the smell which came
from that direction. Passers on the
bridge, when the gentle north wind
blows, used to get the full benefit of
that choicely Uttered strip, and the
sight was indeed one to make citi-
zen forget that Augusta is one of the
best looking cities, thanks to those who
either are too careless or too lazy to
have the refuse and Offal removed in
the regular way. The city marshal
says the business has got to be stopped,

was the case on an island, where there
was a great fire in the grass and brush.

which he had lanced for Guldensuppe.
Five of the bath attendants visited the

and all of them were positive that the
mutilated remains there are those OF
