EAST SIDE TO APPEAL 10 MAYOR BUCKINGHAM
 FROM GARBAGE STINK
Member of Committee invites Health Com inissioners 10 Camp on Berkshire
 Bridge For Night or Two
Thinks They Will Then Know Source of Smells that Nal seate Residents of Ninth District In Night Season
 -Dr. Osbon's Boating Trip

What is there about office holding that makes man as soon as he gets a job, believe that the great major ity of his fellow citizens don't know anything?"
 The question was asked today by a member of the Committee which rep sresents the Ninth and Twelfth Dis- tricts with respect to the nuisances alleged to proceed from the garbage plant. He continued:
 Here are men who live in other parts of the city, and. whose only claim to superior capacity is that they are members of the health board coming to the East Side to- telf East Siders where their odors come from
 The latest infliction of this kind is the interview with Dr. Osborn, 2. who says that he took boat. Sunday and explored the mud flats, with the consequent discovery, by him, that the stench complained of from the neighberhood of the Berkshire bridge, is not from the sewer that empties the refuse from the garbage plant, but from the trunk sewer that enters the river at about the same point Mr. Bradbury is the owner of con- siderable property in the vicinity in question. He is within a few rods of the, mouths of both sewers What leads pr. Osborn to the conclusion that Mir. Bradbury, is not as able to tell which sewer the stench comes from as he is? How does Dr. Osborn account for the fact that during per iods when the garbage plant is not operating the trunk sewer gives. no trouble
 "The residents of the East Side have been through all this before They know that when no garbage is reduced they have no smell They reopens the bad smells begin. They know the smells and they know the source of the smells What is the use of members of the Board of Health telling them that thev do not know. The ncGnls os the rs ss sS also had all this experience with

STR. BRIDGEPORT IS
 AGAIN IN OUR MIDST

It is with a great deal of pleasure that the patrons of the New England Navigation Company will learn that the Steamer Bridgeport resumes her place on the line today. The substi- tuition of the Steamer Richard Peck for the Steamer Bridgeport, while 1t assured the Bridgeport patrons of a staunch and fast boat during the tenn porary absence of the Steamer Bridge port, it was found that she did not i'll the place of our own popular steamer. The Bridgeport is particu. larly adapted to this Bridgeport run, while the Richard Peck, the popular boat of New Haven is designed prin- cipally as night boat and as such there are none better. The Bridgeport run calls for mote deck space sns . more open boat. and the designers of the Steamer Bridgeport surely pro- vided a splendid equipment for the Bridgeport run.
 The best one can do is to bid the Richard Peck an affectionate farewell and extend the glad hand to the Steamer Bridgeport The temporary absence of the Steamer Bridgeport ne- cessitated the changing of four sched- ules in order to provide the city with suitable accommodations. Other changes will be made at New York today substituting the Richard Peck for the Steamer City of Lowell on the New Haven line, the Steamer City of Lowell for the Plymouth on the Norwich line, Steamer Plymouth for the Pilgrim on the Providence line.

members of the Board of Health be- fore.
 That is the reason why. when tns present contract was made the East Side, through committee. insisted upon having q strong contract. With the cooperation of Mayor Bucxing- ham they obtained such contract. It provides that if this plant creates 4s stench that can be perceived v~sfhf1 600 feet of the plant the Board # Health may close it.

one can use pure milk scalded as be- fore; bread and milk; rice and milk; baked potatoes and milk; oatmeal porridge (weH cookedD and milk (the milk always to be scalded, not boiled). No other foods are necessary except those mentioned above.
 Bathing. Keep Nthe baby clean and it will stand the heat better. It should have at least one full bath every day, and oftener during extreme heat. Never bathe the baby within an hour after feeding it. Bathe first. Feed afterward.
 Clothing and fresh air. Dress as Keep the baby in the open air out of the hot sun. At night keep the win dows open, but have them screened and keep out the flies. When the weather turns suddenly cool care must be taken to avoid chilling A thin soft flannel binder wound two or three times around the body should. be worn. This binder should be only wide enough to cover the belly, and should be wound smooth and free from creases Or folds, and fitted with a. few stitches of alarming cotton; no pins.
 DO not let the baby sleep in the same bed with any other person. If there is no crib, the mother should put a couple of chairs at her bedside, with a soft covering on them, and let the baby sleep there. It will be more comfortable on a summer night than laying against the hot body of it's mother and will not be so apt to disturb others, or to be disturbed The backs of the chairs will keep the baby from falling, and the mother can readily reach over to care for it when necessary.
 If the baby vornlits has a diarrhoea or seems sick, stop all milk and give nothing but warm water in the nurs- ing bottle, and send for the doctor.

TAYLOR REPORTS AGAINST LONG
 BEACH PLAN
Erosion, Says Government Engi- neer, Much Less Than in
 Former Years

Washington, July 10.-The army engineers have reported to Congress against the improvement of Bridge ing channels from the erosion of Long Beach. Lieutenant Colonel Harry Taylor, army engineer in charge of waterway Improvements in Connecticut, the engineer review board, and General w. H. Bixby, the chief of engineers, agree that the protection of Long Beach is a work not worthy of being Undertaken by the general government at the pres ent time''
 Last year Congress authorized a survey of Bridgeport Harbor and Long Beach. Colonel Taylor held a hearing some time ago at which Rep resentative Hill, Stiles Judson and others appeared in behalf of the property owners on Long Beach, who are said to be the parties chiefly in- terested in the proposed improve ment. In reviewing the case, Gen. eral Bixby says in his report to Con- gress:
 Long Beach is a narrow sand pit extending about two miles southeast from one end of the east jetty at the entrance of Bridgeport Harbor. It is used largely as summer resort and the owners of cottages on the beach desire it's protection from erosion, which some claim has been acceler- ated by the recent jetty extension It is claimed that not only are their properties endangered, but that the narrow beach may be broken through and the inner harbor be injured. It appears, however. from the examina- ton of maps, that the rate of erosion is much less in recent years than formerly, and that there is no i'm mediate danger of break, but should this occur navigation would not be seriously affected. To protect the beach now would require extensive and expensive work covering a mile or more of the shore not justified in the interest of general commerce and navigation."
