application that has been made to
place upon the public streets drinking
places for the general public and wa
tering troughs for stock. this having
been referred to me by the Superin-
tendent of Public Works, and as the
gentlemen Interested Were anxious to
begin their construction at once, l.
have taken the liberty after an ex
animation of the troughs to write to
him in substance as follows:
THAT while the trough for stock has
considerable mechanism about it that
is liable to get out of order, yet see
no objection to its use at such places
as the Superintendent of Public Works
might designate, provided provision
was made for the care OF the waste
water, and provided also that in the
event of it's becoming a nuisance on
account of the water overfiowing into |
the streets the Board of Health would
order such nuisance abated at once. |
And as to the drinking places for the
general public, for obvious reasons,
could not recommend them on any ac-
count"
Hoping this meets with the approval |
of your Honorable Board. 1 am.
Very respectfully.
