STRONG PROTEST.
Unable to Have Nuisance
Abated After Appeal to
City Hall. III

Claiming that they are unable to
have tho nuisance abated by the city,
officers of the Levy Commission Com.
pany. Inc. of 1919 East Gary Street.
sent a letter to The Times Dispatch
last night calling attention to a con-
dition which is regarded as a menace
to the public health. The Street
Cleaning Department, to which the
first appeal was made, stated that un-s
der the ordinance 1t could only remove
garbage from residences. j. Lee Levy,
secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany, says that the nuisance was re-
ported to the Board of Health. that an
officer was sent to make an inspection,
but that nothing to relieve the situa-
ton has been done. MIR. Levy's let
ter follows:
1--WE had occasion to telephone to
the Street Cleaning Department this
morning to ask them to please send
and remove from our premises about
two barrels OF broken and rotten eggs
and dead chicken we were Informed
that We would have to do our own
hauling OF these articles, as the city
ordinance only provided for the re-
moval of garbage from residences. We
Immediately telcphoned the Board OF
Health, and they had an oificer cali
and inspect tho garbage. And nothing
more has been heard from this de-
partment

district. spend most of our time at our
stores. Should we not have the same
health protection that the families
have at home? Weipay 500 q year to
do business. And Instead OF the city
Council consuming time paesing ordi-
nances prohibiting the placing OF
showcases further than three feet from
the store line. would not be better
that an ordinance be passed causinx
daily removal OF garbage In ihe com
mission district during the heated sea-
son? Flics arc greatly attracted by
rotten eggs. and from the cggB they
scatter TO every part OF Tie city. There
is an ordinance requiring the screen
Ing OF all articles Of food on sale.
What good does this screening do II
b-fore the dealer receives 1t tho food
becomes infected. This is where a
great many diseases arc contracted.

thePoor, Demands On Ice M ission Far Exceed
ing Ticket Supply-Help Needed Now.

Demands from the poor and the ar
ficted, coming virtually one month
ahead of the usual time, ,have kept the
Ice Mission on its nerves TO provide
this essential article in homes where
one little block may save one little
life. But no requests have been de-
MED. The managers have been forced
to handle the funds carefully so that
all could be accommoda ted, and now
with return of hot weather the pub
lie Is asked to help in this truly won
derful work.
M When high temperatures in May
broke the highest records Of 1910. the
Ice Mission was suddenly called upon
al time when ii was not expected.
Two weeks later there was another
upward plunge of the mercury. then
still two weeks later it climbed again,
practically melting the last chunk of
Ice or rather its equivalent in tickets.
Because of this condition., the man
ayers found that immediate funds were
needed, and they supplied all wants.
They are supplying them to-day. for
that matter, but there is mighty
harrow working margin Children in
different parts OF the city have given
lawn parties for the benefit of the
mission, the astonishing part Of it
heing that in some instances rather

buy tickets when there was no cash
on hand. but both ends met the next
