RESOLVING" WONT DO
Constant Talk Of What the
"0thsr Fellow" Ought to
do VIII not kbate Gut
ter Nuisance and
Stencil.

The odorIferous mud IN the CUTTERS
along Wilson street and Illinois aven-
ne has been dug out and stirred up
several times only to be washed back
by the first rain. Much OF the sick
ness In town can be ascribed TO these
green pools OF typhoid and malarlal
germs
Tuesday DR.. Louis Bagby and Col.
-Soper stirred up little themselves
In discussing the best method of abat-
ing the nuisance. The mud and re-
ftse cannot be flushed out with the
present bitches that fail the purpose
of CUTTERS. A scayenger Is paid to
remove refuse stuff but Il seems his
duties in hauling away private ac-
cnmmulations takes so much time
shat he cannot attend 10 tho black
and green mud Of the cutters.
From Statements made II appears
that the members OF the board Of
health have recommended action time
/ and time again but 1--WE do hereby
resolve and do ordain' by the council

typhoid germs have no realization Of
the fact that the people don't want
them about At any rate they will
never leave our town because the
town council met and resolved. "
In some places It isdeemed criminal
for authorities to permit such stencil

property owner to abate the nuisance
It certainly is the duty Of some OH
clai TO compel them % act. Every
body condemns the condition Of the
cutters, Jet 4 compulsory order to
make them sanitary would no doubt
cause some who might be compelled
10 spend dollar or two for the good
Of the peoples health, 10 rise up aud
kick. Let them kick--therc's no mn-
niclpal election In the near future.
Sam Rldenhour has used the fire
apparatus to flush the bitches but II
does no good as there is no drainage.

cutters are constructed. In the mean-
time the word passes from mouth to
mouth that some friend has been a..

the council peremptorily orders prop
erty owners TO act. One or two men

The members should act In unison for

There Is a ton, more or less. Of for

be more pleasant than the other but
this constant sameness Il wearing on

what the other fellow ought TO do

cover up the city's shame.
