about the unsanitary condition of the
Manchester police station. This bad
state OF affairs has existed for some
time. and people are beginning to think

condition. Many citizens are called there
often on business and the odors issuing
from various quarters are so noisome
that the atmosphere becomes complete
ly nauseating.
