The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-07-07

I
Williamson and ever since IL was given
10 him there has been lot OF fault found
This ~. OF course. more general in the
summer than In the winter and there Is
not the slightest doubt that the fault find
ing is justified.
There are places In this city where the
swil has not been collected now for more
than two weeks and IL is hardly necessary
TO say what are the conditions. The hot
sun beating down onto the cans which are
placed In back yards TO hold the swill are
in some places nearly full and the stencil
which arises from them Is something fear
ful. This morning several complaints
were made TO Health officer Richards and
other complaints have been pouring In for
weeks past. Williamson is notified OF the
conditions and that is about all that II
amounts TO
When he Is told OF any particular place
which should receive his attention his
men go and get the swill from there and
then they forget all about II again for
another period of days or weeks.
That section OF the city lying near the
corner OF Cottage and North Bend streets
has suffered considerably and several OF
the people living there have made COM
plants and II Is about time that some
ting was done.
IL Is pretty well known that Williamson
Is the political pet OF the president OF the
contract would probably have been given
TO some one else. Within the last 10 days
there has been meeting OF the commit
tee on health. at which time DIR. Richards
brought this matter up and II was thor
oughly discussed One OF the members
seemed TO feel that these complaints were
not made in good faith or that they came
from people who had no reasonable
ground for complaint. II that particular
alderman Will make a personal investiga-
ton today In the yards In that section
or the city named above he would per-
haps change his mind.
There Is In the Pawtucket office OF the
News-Democrat at the present time a
pretty fair list OF names OF persons who
have found fault with the conditions and
they are class OF people whose COM
plants are worth listening to. They
know what ought TO be done and unless
this swfll collection rs attended to better
within the next few days Mr.. Williamson
Is likely to hear something drop with
a dull hard sound.
The greatest danger TO public health,
however. Is In the tenement districts.
where people finding that the receptacles
which are provided for swill are not be-
ing emptied bury the swill I'm the ash
bins and IL Is wonder that this practice
mas not caused serious trouble before this
Dr. Richards has made his complaints
but 1t Is really up TO the aldermanic COM
nittee on health TO see that something
Is done, and IL II is not done pretty soon
the political power OF President Wood of
the board OF aldermen will not be strong
enough to save Mr. Williamson.
