Messrs. Slye and Mosley, two we'll
known contractors of this city, claim that
they have found a way to remedy tho
dry closet problem, which has been caus-
ing the city commissioners much trouble.
They have closet which has been passed
by a number of physicians and boards
of health throughout this country which
can be installed in any house without
sanitary sewerage connection. The closest
is made of galvanized iron. The refuse
is dissolved by very strong chemical
and is very sanitary in every respect
When the matter was taken up with
Commissioner Hornady yesterday morn
ing, it met with his approval pro-
viding it was passed on by the city health
department. The closet is very simple,
and is cheaply but we'll constructed, and
can be put into any house with little
expense.
