Huntingdon Avenue
 Dump Is Protested
Definite Nuisance to Homes Claim Signers of Petition;
 FairmOunt BOwIers Enjoy Banquet
WATERVILLE

The public dump maintained by the city on the river bank south of the Huntingdon avenue bridge has been protested in a lengthy petition recently submitted to the board of commissioners of public health. The long list of signers includes residents of Huntingdon avenue. Colonial avenue. Essex street, Stafford street and other adjacent streets and also bears the official approval of the FairmounC Community club.
 The signers claim that the dump is a definite nuisance to their homes and properties because of the odors, smoke from burning refuse, waste papers and other light materials which are blown by the wind onto neighboring land, and the preva- lence of rodents, which are always attracted by any place where refuse is deposited.
 The local residents claim that the city should establish public dumping places at points reasonably remote from dwelling places. This particu- lar dump is practically in the front yards of several of the petitioners.
