HEALTH OFFICE, is
CLEANING UP CITY
Common Council Orders Him
To Abate Nuisances.
We Should Uphold Hands of Officer
In Good Work He Is Doing.
Says Alderman Johnson.

City Health Officer Peter A Gard
ner appeared before the session of the
city council on Tuesday evening ask
ing advice, and urging that steps be
taken to clean up several places
around this city that have become
nuisances The first place called to
the attention of the council by Mr.
Gardner is the dump in the Mechan-
les street section. Here refuse of all
kinds is being scattered, and a most
unsightly. as well as unhealthy. con
dition is resulting.
Officer Gardeners appearance paw
ed the way for general discussion of
local health conditions Alderman
DIVERT mentioned the fact that resi-
dents in the vicinity of Bridge street
have been throwing garbage and 9th
er refuse into the river. This he char
acterized as unsanitary. particularly
as the rubbish so disposed of, fire.
quently washes ashore further down
the stream. creating unhealthy condi-
tons.
At this point Mayor Marcy entered
the discussion and remarked, The
health officer has authority, and if he
finds out who is giving the trouble,
warns them, and then brings the of
Tenders into court if the offense is
repeated, | think the trouble will
stop"
$50 do l." added Mr. Padgett.
Alderman Beausoleil has seen some
disorderly places, and did not hest
tate to mention this fact. When the
discussion concerning the dumping
on theme chanics street property and
the throwing of refuse into the river
had subsidized he stated: Another
place is back of Main street store
II is a disgrace. Among other things
is a pile of manue. uncovered.
don't know who put it there or who
owns the land 1t is good thing for
our health officer to go out into the
country tmeaning Mechanics street,
but it's better to have him go right in
the center of the city This side hill
running up from Canal street is not
a very nice thing for the city--nor
for outsiders to see. =
at seems to me" said the mayor
that the officer has the power to
clean up these places, but if he feels
that he has not, and wants the council
to give him further orders, that is all
right
Il believe" emphasized Alderman
Johnson, that when our health Off
Ger comes and asks US for advice and
suggestions in keeping our city clean
we should do something. | do think
that we ought to hold up the hands OF
the health officer when he is doing
such good work to keep Putnam
clean"
| Here Alderman Padgett moved that
the health officer be directed to abate
the nuisances that had been under
discussion, and the vote was unani-
nous.
1t was evident from the councils
discussion that that body is heartily
in favor of all that Mr.. Gardner may
do to bring about healthful and san
itary conditions in Putnam and is on
iy too willing to cooperate with him
and to give him authority at all time
that he desires.

1t is with feelings of sadness that
always come over anyone when a
friend and acquaintance of many
years passes away There is gener-
ally accompanying these feelings a
desire in some public way to honor
that friend, and the pleasant rela-
tons that had existed so long be
tween Mr.. Thompson and myself, and
1t has seemed fitting to the writer of
this tribute that that way would be
to speak of him through the columns
of thte Patriot. which has a circula-
tion among his acquaintance. As a
friend and an employer to work for
he was one of the best of the many
others in Thompson whom it has
been my privilege to work for, and
whenever he consulted me in regard
to any work he proposed to have
done, he always was ready to abide
by my counsel. which was a great
help to me in the performance of the
work itself.
of his political and public life,
those who were associated with him
in the activities of those years of his
life can best testify, but it would be
false TO him for me to fail to extol
him for the many virtues known to
me and which evidenced his true char
acter; also that willingness in him to
dare to do right at whatever cost,
still further showing a true manly
spirit such as can only be judged by
a personal dealing and conversation
with him. The many deeds of char
ity and kindness that have GENE to
my ears, none of which were done in
any ostentatious way, but rather in
silence. are among my fond remem-
branees of him His faults he may
have had, but who Of his many ac-
quaintanees have not Let any that
are without cast the first stone"
May they be written in the sand" /;
but his virtues, Let them be engraved
on the tablets of enduring memory
that they may be initiated by an.
