WHY ENDURE STENCIL?

If the health officer will get busy
and the police as well and stop gar
bage wagons from streaming filth all
the way from the city's very heart.
even from one end of the city to the
other, to the crematory, the graft
tude of the people will be theirs for
ever.
In this connection there should be
no uncovered garbage wagons, such
as arc seen here, nor should they be
allowed to remain throughout the
night in Traders alley, or any other
alley like they do now. They are
peddlcrs of disease. They leave
their odor everywhere they go and it
can be smelt blocks away. The
stencil they leave behind is simply
uncomfortable, and the filth, slime and
refuse they string along the streets
are disease breeders.
Even the fire department is affect
ed. The wagons left in the alley at
night are so nauseating that the
members of the fire department are
driven from the premises.
Conditions of like nature prevail
elsewhere, and yet there is no effort
to correct them. Special ordinln-
ces were passed relating to the Gre
matory, garbage, garbage wagons
and their operations. Police pow
ers are conferred in these, and yet
who sees that these ordinances are
lived up to? Who tries to see that
they are obeyed? 1t is high time
that something be done along this
line, and that there may be no fur
Their annoyance, no further peril
from this source, the Telegram ur-
gently lays the matter before the
city council and asks on behalf of
the people of Clarksburg, their
health, comfort and enjoyment that
something be done by that body at

old regulars would help US out, and
so we had three this morning. One
