After the alleged nuisance at the
collection depot Of a fertiHzlng con-
Germ in Margin street, had practically
been abated and steps taken to re-
move real cause for objection, and
when petitions declaredNthat the exist
ing nuisance was the carting Of the
stuff through the streets, which has
also been remedied, the petition ask
ing for abatement of the Margin street
nuisance was received at the recent
meeting Of the Westerly town council.
In compliance with the request the pc
titioners, the council also declared by
vote that the existing conditions in the
Margin street premises were a
nuisance, and order issued for it's i'm
mediate abatement.
This order was directed to the own
er of the property, who had no rights
therein, as the fertilizer company had
lease of the property for one year,
and the practical owner during the
life Of the lease. 1t is claimed, there
fore, that the service of the order was
deficient, and further that the simple
declaration that the place was a pub
lie nuisance did not make it so, and
that the allegation, as specified in the
petition, should be supported by sworn
testimony, and at hearing for that
purpose by the persons in interest
1t is said that the fertilizing COM
pany has been advised to conduct its
business on the premises, regardless
of the order. and that the stencil that
did come from the place and from the
material carried through the public
streets. be remedied. 1t is claimed
that the really Objectionable features
can be removed. In the meantime
the action Of the council and the
counter faction of the fertilizing COM
pany, may eventually result in the
matter being settled by the courts.
Among the petitioners are citizens of
pronounced prominence and influence,
who are residents on Margin street,
and vicinity.
