he was limping slightly. He felt confident
that he could go on. and Connie MACK sH-

him out. In all probability the slight pain
and distress robbed him Of his effective
ness. In any case, he lost his cunning and
the Giants fell on him TO good purpose in

his performance in the third game OF the

houses in Union street, known as An
derson's Row, must be connected with

This action was taken after the mat
ter had been discussed at some length
Il was considered best to correct the
evils before the warm weather ar
rives.

request Chief of Police Black to have
the patrolmen keep an eye on the signs
placed by the Board in vacant lots
prohibiting the depositing of garbage
on such lands. These signs are fire.

King street and other streets are not
Uttered with refuse
Mr.. Litz brought up the subject OF
changing the site of the city crema-
tory, now that II had been burned
down, to a more distant point because
Of the odor which comes from tho
plant and which has been complained
by residents in that section Of the
city.
President Beck thought the matter
came under the jurisdiction Of City
Council He also said that the plant
was located between two sewers and
he considered the location a good one
Mr.. Litz, however. informed the
board that II something was not done
a petition would be circulated re-
questing that the plant be removed
from its present site. and it was then
decided TO walt until such petition
appeared before the board before TAX
ing any action.
Six odorless excavators appeared
before the board at the request of the
members and II was explained to them
just what they would have 20 do dur
ing the ensuing year in carrying on
their business in a sanitary manner,
under changes contemplated in the
laws.
Several OF the contractors called
the attention of the board to the un-
sanitary condition in the neighbor-
hood of B and Locust streets. where
tide water in the marshes backs up.
resulting in water filling cellars and
the sluice provided to carry off the
water being clogged with refuse.
The members will inspect the sec
tion and take whatever action will be
inecessary.
During the session of the board a
letter was received from the G. A. r.

members of the hoard to participate
IN the parade on May 80. The letter
