A CONVERTED BROOK
EAST ORANGE MAN MAKES
DUCK POND OF IT.
Health Authorities Receive Complaints
That Resulting Conditions Are
Disease-Breeding.

The converting of a brook into a duck
pond by n resident Of Hamilton street,
East Orange. may lead to a series Of COM
plications and possible action by the board
OF health of that city owing to the making
of many complaints. The brook In ques-
tion passes under Hamilton street and its
course Is supposed to go over toward
Springdale avenue. Now, it is claimed.
however, that the passing of the waters
has ceased.
The objections raised come as the result
or the odors that now arise from the
place. A few weeks ago there were in
the neighborhood several cases OF disease
which were thought to ave been caused
by the stopping up OF the brook. 1t was
then decided by several of the residents to
have the matter called to the attention of
the officials, and this has been done. A
representative of the Board of Health has
made an examination Of the place, but 1t Is
said no action has yet been taken.
Judging by appearances the brook made
an ideal duck pond. Piles Of dirt and other
stuff were placed across the brook and
acted as a DAM. and toward making the
pond large. Soon after the dam was con-
structed, It is said, doors began. to arise
from the place. and then some of the fami-
lies began to AXE notice. 1t Is situated
In the lower section, of the street and
about fifty children live nearby. Three
cases OF disease have since broker out
among the children and 1t was thought
proper TO have tine health authorities look
the matter up. The representative of the
board, it is said, stated that the complaint
would be placed with the engineers Office,
where it was believed O decision would be
made that it was an unlawful procedure
to stop the course of the brook.
This is the second complaint that has
come from the section to the health board
on account of alleged %unsanitary places,
the first being on account of a mosquito
breeding hole off Clinton street, north. At
first no action was taken and then the
complaint was lodged with the City Coun-
ell. Councilman Edward S Pierson took
the matter up for the DIRECTORS and action
was soon taken to fill in the tract. 1t is
said that the duck pond matter may also
be referred to the Council If something is
not done TO remove the dam.

Detective Sergeant John Drabell, who is
now acting chief, was going over Centre
street one afternoon and happened to see
the goats. eating the ~shrubbery. He soon
learned that the hospital was supporting
the shaggy-haired animals, and, further
more, was not doing so willingly. Then
he chased the goats away. At that time
the animals had only started in on their
work and hadn't done much damage.
The goats came back again, and this
time they were chased off by the hospital
authorities and the case reported to the
police. Detective Drabell saw that some
thing was to be done at once to save
the property and tried to learn who owned

given up The detective waited near the
hospital one afternoon. and along came
the three goats for their meal OF shrub
berry. TWO or three tin cans were left
nearby, but the goats would not. even look
at them. They systems required floral

his superiors that he at last had discovered
