The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1912-01-05

during the past summer, that II Is
most startling indeed, and il our peo-
pie knew land can not see why they
| should not know the unsanitary con-
dition, they would be very much
alarmed. How could it be otherwise,
with no escape for the outflow of the
waste of city of 5000 people, built
up as compactly as we are.
Why not get ready in businesslike
| way for the inevitable? | presume il
the facts of the present condition of
Lambertville we're spread before the
State Board af Health they would I'M
hesitatingly and Immediately order a
system of sewage. Why wait to be
| caught thus unprepared, or worse,
the calamity of an epidemic to force
us to duty.
would most respectfully suggest to
your honorable body that you appoint
commission of reliable men to take
this matter in hand now. They
might secure place as near the town
as possible where the waste could be
carried. Find and learn if it we're
possible and whether it could be NO
arranged with the Penna. r.. r Co.
to have pipes or conductors in the
bottom of the canal that runs along
the west part OF the town, and sc
carry the refuse TO the place desired.
IT this could not be done, it might
be that the same system could bt
carried along the edge of the Della.
ware river. The matter of expense
and all particulars pertaining to the
cleansing of the town could thus be
carefully gone into. One other
thought, to me, of great Importance.
We are badly needing play ground
for the children. It's essential for
their health and happiness that they
have some place left to them for their
| entire amusement, as there is nothing
now but private property or the pub
lie street. This is bad, together for
residents aud children likewise.
think this matter should be looked
into at an early date.
Hoping You will take these sug.
gestions in the spirit in which they
are given, / am most respectfully
your obedient servant,
VIM. LAUER,
Mayor Of Lambertv lille.
