will meet people there who will be able
to tell him that there is no special COM
munity of interest between smallpox
and hog pens, except that the more hog
pens i'll a town the greater the oppor-
tunity of smallpox to do big business
there and that the State is averse to

being the case, what can be the objection
to hog pens?' Paragraph 81 of "Nui-
sances" in the Code makes it the duty of
the Bailitf to see that such offences are
"abated' or removed yet this FEEDER
