will burst forth in all its glory and the

with disease germs and foul scents. 1t
seems incredible that there is no means
OF Suppressng this continual nuisance.
! The city Board of Health has the same

after being officially notified I" correct
the same by the Board, then the Board
has the authority t." remove such
nuisance and all rXrnSrs resulting from
such action, may M collected from the
owner or owners OF the property ON
which the nuisance existed. II Is t"
he hoped that this matter Will be taken
III hand before the warm weather sets III
and the people exposed t" contagious
diseases.
