sResidents of the vicinity say that the
board of health was notified of this con-
ditiOn several weeks ago, but that Dr..
stewart has done nothing to insure their
health, or a betterment of conditions.
BARNARD fowls throw the filth almost
into the kitchen of the nearest neighbcr.
1t is claimed that little effort has been
made to keep the premises clean. and
that the place is never free from filth, as
should be the case in so thickly q popu-
later district.
There are other caseSIin various parts
Of the city testifying to the neglect and
of the health commissioner.
