DOORS FROM BRICK KIlNs.

Manufacturers Protest Against Class
ing Them as yuisances.
One of the matters now being considered
by the municipal authorities concerns the
brick manufacturing establishments of the
District to large extent. The Commis
sioners have quietly, and, with the assis-
tanee of the Health Officer, been conducting
a campaign against the offensive odors
generated in the vicinity of slaughter
houses, soap and candle factories, bone
boiling, and other establishments of the
kind Brick yards were included in the
list. This fact came to the knowledge OF
the officials of the Washington Brick Com
pany, and now its president, T. j. Hol-
brook has written to the Commissioners
asserting that it is an ''impropriety' TO
class brick kilns with the other factories
above mentioned. The letter of Mr.. Hol-
brook asserts that modification of the
health regulations would be necessary
should his company decide to consummate
plans now under consideration These
would necessitate building new plant on
two squares of ground in a sparsely set
tied section of the city, and yacating of the
plant at Fourteenth Street and Florida Ave
nue. northeast. Early consideration of the
matter was sought by Mr.. Holbrook. who
stated that large interests would be affect
6u ny lut ucclSiOH- i1t Sdiitu dlAtul4Cl lO
the fact that the growth of the city is
largely dependent on the production of
building material with the least possible
embarrassment, and stated that the brick
industry is the largest manufacturing in
terest in the District of Columbia.
The subject was referred TO Dr.. Wood
ward, the District Health Officer who re-
ported that there is no regulation of the
late board OF health which refers to brick
kilns. He explained that when any busi-
ness or trade is so conducted as TO create
a nuisance through the means of stenches
and odors arising from factories ii may be
declared a nuisance. There is aslaw against
such nuisances, and DR.. Woodward says
the law may now be amended by the Com
missioners under the joint resolution which
authorize them to alter and amend certain
health ordinances.
'The inclusion of brick kilns'' says Or.
Woodward, with slaughter houses, soap
factories, and bone boiling establishments,
dates back as far at least as 1860 and is
probably based on the quantity Of smoke
and the character of the fumes emitted by
furnaces. Mr.. Holbrook states that IL is
impossible TO burn bricks without smoke.
If the act for the prevention of smoke in
the District were to be construed so as TO
apply to brick kilns it would drive the
brick industry out of the District. These
considerations would, in my opinion, mill
tate against the change proposed"
