CRYING NUISANCE.


The most alarming nuisance discovered Is q dirty

for the reception OF partially decomposed entralls
barrels and loaded on this schooner, which is sup
posed to convey them away to the Palisades daily.
The boat Is partially loaded and for days the mass OF
black, sinking, decomp0sing filth remains in the
barrels on the deck without any attempt to disnect

been said to Cali the attention OF the Board OF Health
to the necessity for immediate action In running
out all the Objectionable establishments and giving

HERALD inspector will make frequent visits to tins
district this summer, and that the fat meters
who disregard public health and the laws shall have
no rest until they Improve their premises or aban-

Is probability that the new Board, which has just
adopted Its revised code Of health ordinances, and
elected fearless and able Sanitary Inspector
