Spreads Infectious Diseases.
In view of the fact that an ordl-
nance to prohibit the establishment OF
secondhand clothing stores In Able
vile was defeated by the Town Coun-
Gil a year or two ago, the following
dispatch from the Times Democrat OF
the 18th instant is of interest to this
community:
New York, April l0.-In a report
submitted to the Board OF Health this
morning DR.. Feeney, chief sanitary
inspector, sets forth q frightful con-
dition of things in regard to the hand
ling of secondhand clothing and its
shipment to various towns in the
Southern and Western States.
DR.. Feeney Friday and Saturday
nights visited several shops in Hester,
Bayard and Eldridge streets, and dis
covered that clothes taken from the
bodies of persons who died from con-
tagious and infectious diseases were
handled and sold without the least
compunction. Clothing taken from
drowned men is dried and then re-
paired in these shops and sent to the
country, where it is sold in stores.
DIR. SFeeney says that through these
clothes diseases are communicated,
and that the clothes are responsible
for much sickness and death.
Acting under orders of President
Murphy, DR.. Feeney and several po-
licemen of the sanitary squad will raid
the places complained Of. In n OF
the Places complained of the shop is
used Saturdays as a synagogue. Here
is part of DR.. Feeney's report. After
referring to piles of foul-smelling
clothing the chief Inspector saw ready
for shipment to Louisiana, Mississippi
and Texas, he says:
IAN examination of these articles
showed that every Il of them was
extremely filthy; in many cases they
bore evidence of having at some time
been deposited on q manure heap.
while other articles had suffered from
saturation to such an extent that they
must have been immersed in water
for long periods of time and bore
evidence of the fact that they had
given their previous owners long SER
vice. In fact, many of the articles
presented the same appearance as the
clothing taken from dead persons at
the morgue after they had been re-
covered from the river.
ssIn view of these facts / would
recommend that the filthy clothing
found in these places be forthwith re-
moved and fumigated. l would also
recommend that all secondhand cloth
ing be submitted to an examination
before being sold by peddlers and
manufacturers
The report is attracting much at
tention here.
Leaving aside the injury done to
the home merchants by these timer
ant old clothes dealers who ply their
trade here and where business is good,
and then leave with full pockets for
other parts, would it not be well for
the present council to reconsider the
question on sanitary grounds? Neigh
boring towns have excluded this class
of dealers, so why can not we do
likewise?
Indications are that Uncle Sam will
have a lively time keeping the Fill
