DIR. LEDERLE REPLIES ON SMOKE
Health Department Has Suppressed Many
Nuisanees Without Boiler Inspectors.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have read in your issue of August a letter
under date OF August g. from ]. c. Pumpelly,
secretary OF the City Improvement Society, in
which he states that through the efforts OF the
Municipal Art League of Chicago ordinance has
been passed consolidating the Boiler Inspection De-
partment with the Smoke Bureau OF the Health
Department He adds that the inspectors under
these two bureaus form efficient board of in
spection which is already doing useful work. and
states also that the secretary Of the Municipal Art
League above mentioned has every hope that this
ordinance will be enforced, to the extent of prac-
tically destroying the smoke nuisance in Chicago
within one years time
Mr.. Pumpeny adds: would it not be well for
New-York consider this precedent established by
Chicago and if thought best proceed to benefit by
her example? AS to what we have failed 10 90
herea bouts, the writer could a tale unfold
do not desire to draw any comparison between
this city and Chicago in the matter of smoke NUS
ances Upon Mr.. Pumpellys own statement and
reached under the new plan would seem to consist
chiefly in the hope that the ordinance VIII be en-
forced to the extent of practically destroying the
smoke nuisance in Chicago within one year time.
We ] may state for Mr.. Pumpelly's information
have been able without the cooperation of boiler
nuisances. and to bring New-York. think 1 may
safely state. to cleaner condition than ever pc
fore I should be glad to have Mr.. Pumpelly point
out smoke nuisance in this city against which
this department has not proceeded we Shouid pc
glad to have him unfold his tale at any and all
times ERNST j. LEDERLE,
President Department OF Health

anxiety and restrictions for want OF means. But
a far greater usefulness has always been in the
plan formed for the work.
Some wealthy patrons have generously con-
sidered our circumstances as to donate large sums
of SGoo, and a legacy did very much to continue
the breath of life in the charity and grant it some
solid permanency But with two homes great
energy is to be used in acquiring means. or but
a feeble success can be looked for. One home is
still but partly equipped: it is the old Tecumseh
Hotel enlarged from time to time since IL aban-
doned the attempt to attract rich purchasers to
the park it surveyed, and sold to reliSiouses.
1t is a great luxury to the patients who live
In it, and is in fine countryside; yet rs 4
village residence it is all the more expensive in
certain ways. We require large amount OF fuel
to keep the hospital home properly warm in the
wind and storm and steady cold experienced and
we have not even yet been able TO finish the ar
a new drain and improved plumbing. We
have about forty-Hve persons 70 feed in this sec
ond home thirty being patients (of whom ten are
male cases). The city home holds always Hine
very desperate female cases and six sisters. and
has relief room for outside cases OF sores and
cuts
1t is with feeble and wavering hope that
plan for the future of country home, at a spot
where nature fresh air could not De surpassed,
a harbor for nifty hundred patients, and nifty
nurses preparing and also thoroughly tried 20 give
them attendance believe this can be done, even
with but thought of mercy effect Christke
