APPEAL READY
FOR CITY COUNCIL

The Board Of Health has rolled up its
sleeves. Furthermore. It has a steely
CLINT in rs eye. That means trouble
for the Wilmington Sanitary Company
and unless that company mltigates the
nauseOus smells which emanates from
the plant Of the company on south
Justison street, there is no telling what
Will happen.
Complaints have been drifting in at
the Board OF Health ONCE for several
years regarding this condition Of af-
fails. especially during the last four
months. Il is said that the company
has q practice Of burning and rendering
dead horses, which causes the dreadful
odor which nearly asphyxiates nearby
dwellers.
The matter OF the odor will be as
suredly taken up with City Council,
say members Of the Board Of Health,
unless the corporation mends its ways
very shortly. Council will be asked TO
pass the ordinance. prohibiting the
nuisance as q vicious practice.
Council was approached some time
ago in reference TO this matter aud
neither residents Of The stricken dis

that enough action has been obtained
