| dents of the neighborhood asked

matter Will be seen to imme-
ly.
other petition came from the
ents in the vicinity Of the Cas-
let Cream plant who claimed

an ~unhealthful condition eX-
on the grounds, making IT un-
sant for the neighbors.
Thompson had already COM
Ecated with Castles before the

covered with mud because of
tracks crossing them. The mat

pressure brought to bear through a
petition against the owner of the

nue that had been partially turned

sanitary conditions were satisfactory
and at the time of the inspection

ing made and in some cases the can
vases are not large enough TO cover
the entire wagon. The secretary
