 The Censor of Sanitation. The censor of sanitation is coming to the front. He is person who makes it one of his important duties | to notice every breach of hygiene con | ditions that may arise. He Is an indi- | vidual possessing a keen sense of obs servation and a highly cultivated na- sal nerve. He claims that he can 1 perceive odors. of the most delicate variety at long range, not exceeding a 1 mile. and most peculiarly he says he can tell you the cause of such. | Now" he asserted yesterday, T am | not in tn ehabit of condemning any | person, corporation or branch of a municipal, county or state govern ment, but something should be done l to rid a part of Commerce Stret of | those vile, odors. With my delicate perception of odors, which have ac- quired by long training, l could per l ceive the smell as far as the Capitol, not take note of the unpleasantness until he probably reached the Inter- section of Commerce and Bibb Streets. going to the depot.
 He would discover, after walking g few feet on the west side of the l thoroughfare that there was decayed | matter of some kind in the immediate vicinity. The odor would be very near l ed the middle of the block and he | would heave sigh of relief when, after a desperate struggle to hold his nasal organ, he reached Tallapoosa | Street. He would then wonder what could have caused the pungency. If he should come to me, would easily explain to him that the odors have their origin in decayed vegetable matter and IT. would be my opinion that the matter consists of cabbages, l stored away in some produce estab- l llshments Further than this my au- thority would cease; l might suggest nuisance but it would be up to the san itary department to ind aud enforce the remedy.
