; An injunction to restrain the owner
OF chicken slaughter-house now
being erected ON Springfield avenue,
between South Twelfth and Thir-
teenth streets, from conducting such
an establishment will DE sought by
the West Side Improvement Associa-
ton. This was decided at a meeting
IN Hoenig's Hall. Springfield avenue
and South Tenth street, last night.
The meeting was marked By cOnsid-
cradle enthusiasm. and besides shows
ing their opposition TO the proposed
slaughter house, the members also
went on record as being opposed
to the trolley loop which the
Public Service seeks TO put around
the southern end of Military
Park: voiced their disapproval Of the
present transfer system and took the
Board of Works TO task for the con-
dition of the streets during the past
few weeks. Further than that, the
association passed a resolution to the
effect that a letter be sent to Mayor
elect Thomas l.. Raymond requesting
that Board OF Health Commissioner
John II. Mclean be not reappointed.
The latter, the West Siders assert,
was antagonistie 10 them in their eff
forts 10 keep n slaughter house out of
the west end OF the city.
President John p. Brasser told Of
the efforts of the committee, which
appeared before the Board Of Health
Commissioners al its last meeting.
Several commissioners we're in SYM
patty with the improvement associa-
ton, and realized that they had made
a mistake in granting the permit for
the slaughter house, he said, but were
afraid to cancel the permit for fear
Of a civil suit.
But Mr., Brasser continued. Il
think We may yet win out in our
fight to keep this awful menace Of
public health out Of our midst. l be-
lieve there was a similar case brought
to light several years ago. After the
board had granted a permit for a
ON Prince street an
injunction was secured. At any rate,
We will engage counsel and fight the
thing TO the Limit. 49,
A resolution was passed thai Il
committee be appointed to wait on
the Board of Works to see what
could be done toward cleaning the
streets, particularly Springfield ave-
nue..
THE streets have not been cleaned
for Two weeks said Mr.. Brasser,
land now. With the Christmas holi-
is most necessary that they be
cleaned. s.se'
Every year the funds of the board
gives out about this time. and the
street cleaners are laid off. Last
year we had the same trouble, but
when We brought the matter 10 the
attention OF the Beard hey found
funds somewhere and the streets
were cleaned"
II was also decided to recommend
to the board that the collection of
garbage be arranged. so that the men
who go ahead OF the wagons and place
the refuse on the clrbstone will only
precede the collectors by an hour or
so. Now, il is claimed, the garbage
lays on the sidewalk for eight hours
at times, and gets scattered about
The proposed Military Park loop
was termed death trap" by Presi-
dent Brasser, and the tranTfer sys-
tern in vogue as wholly Inadequate"
