We're removed today from the mouth of
the north side sewer by Sanitary In
spector E. c.. Mainott and a force of
men The inspector is now waiting
to dispose of his find to junk man

Mafllott accounts for the presence
of tens of thousands of collar buttons
and pins in the sewerage to the fact
that several large laundries are con-

often caused good men to get mad and
swear had almost choked UP the mouth
of the sewer.
