Drastic Action in Regard
to Tenants Complaint.

Only three days time was given to
Mrs. Frances Parker, of 1913 Market
street, by the Board of Health last
night, to abate an alleged nuisance
at 231 Sheridan street, in the house
owned by Mrs. Parker. If the pro-
prietor of this house does not abate
the alleged nuisance during this time
the Board of Health will close the
house. This action was taken last
night by the health board in session
in city hall. The meeting had Ie-
gally adjourned when President JUS
tus Kaletsch read the complaint, fl
ed by tenants in the house, and upon
motion of Commissioner Leo
Schwartz the foregoing mentioned
drastic measure was taken.
So far as can be learned, the oc-
cupant of the house at 231 Sheridan
street, complain of unconnected sew
ers and toilets. They have reported
to the board facts very alarming to
the health and welfare of that COM
munity. Although the toilets are In
the house there is no connection with
the drains. 1t is the first time the
boards attention has been called to
this alleged nuisance.
An appeal to Aldermen.
President Kaletsch was appointed
a committe of one to draw up and
submit to the Board of Aldermen an
application for the extension Of the
sewer in Westside avenue, in aCt0rd-
ance with the existing state faws.
Commissioner George Wustefeld, the
chairman of the committee on sani
tation, was instructed to prepare this
document at the last meeting, but
has not done SO. He was not present
last night to make a report on the
question.
A delegation from Westside ave-
nue. waited upon the board on August
16 and filed a petition for the con-
struction of a sewer and drain along
that thoroughfare. 1t can be con-
structed at the city's expense under
the laws of 1891, according to the
petitioners. The sanitary condition
there is deplorable, it is said.

board to cause an abatement of the
alleged odors said to arise from the
