Lieutenant Daley's View OF an Alleged
Nuisance.
The report made by tho police depart
ment through Lieut.. Daley OF the ninth
precinct concerning the allegations OF citl-
zens against the Benning abattoir. mention
of which was made in The Star of yester-
day. was to the effect that a nuisance
which is detrimental to health exists at
the abattoir caused, the lieutenant thinks,
by a reducing plant in connection there
with for the purpose of cooking the offal
and reducing the same into fertilizers and
grease. The odor from the plant. says
Lieut.. Daley, is obnoxious and unbearable
to the residents of Benning and Deanwood
especially so when the wind is from a
southerly direction during the summer
months and the doors and windows of the
residences are open for air.
1.-THE odor," reports Lieut.. Daley, from
the hog pen Of the Union Stock Yards. ad-
Joining the abattoir, Is nearly as bad as
that OF the reducing plant. although there
would be no complaint, and probably very
little odor If proper care were given to
the pen, There are, also, two drainage
mines, from the reducing plant, which empty
into an open sewer. which leads to he
Ea stern branch along Benning road, and
like odor as complained Of ar.,es there
from, which, during a long period Of warm
and dry weather, is unbearable to persons
passing along the Benning road. I would
recommend that the plant be removed to
some place where 1t Is not as thicxly set
tied as Benning and Deanwood."
