Mr. Editor:?In your Issue of Aug ust 4 an article signed "Health" appeared. In which the signer seemed to be ver? much Interested in the condition ot the town. If he will read Section s on page 12 of the City Ordi nances which reed as follows, he will gain valuable information. fBrery occupant of a lot oa any street shall keep the footway clean and the ^ gutter open aad free from obstructions, as tar as inch lot ex tends." A J ' ? As the article refers to typhoid fe rer. I wish. to sUte that I hare had trouble ia my family. F|we years ago I loet my oldest daughter of typhoid. The cart drivers say It la almost im posalble to have all the.trash off the streets on Sunday juat aa long as the cltiseas don't respect the law. which "8ec. 11 (pags VI). No wa?e pa per or other trash a ha 11 be set lire to or burned, or thrown or otherwise deposited upon the sldewalka ot pub lic streets of the town except the sweepings which shall be placed In a box. barrel or some other suitable re ceptacle and placed In front of. the lot or building. which shall be pAced on the eto\ets only on Monday. Tues day. Wednesday and Thursday ot each wrek. Aa for the drains spoken ot, most people kno^r that since June SO I have bean busy most of the time hauliug dirt or digging up trees where the paving Is to be done, but so tar as I know I am done with that claaa of work for the tine being. umi. w< we dug up and cleaned out some Ull ed-up pipe so thfc water chff pass off to the oretk. That was more neces sary than to run the water off to the ? low places and let It hare to aoak up We are now opening the drains and ditches, but how long will the drain* stand open, if the people don't ob serve the following?: "8ec. 87 (page 16). Vehicle! shall not bl run eo close to the drains and dltchea of the town me 16 cut into them, or break down their margins." One more section of law would help as if observed: "8ec. 49 <page 31). That no glass of any kind shall be thrown or other wise deposited upon the sidewalks, streets or alleys of the town. Now. writer,?or, Mr. Health,?if you will meet ma at the City Hall at 7 o'clock and tall ma where the great eat menace is 1 will take pleasure In taking my force and .removing same at once. Then I think if yon would go all over town with me 1 could show you something about "the drainage of the town. It you would advocate s Are-feet sewer through the town run ning up Third' street That would be sufficient to dra)n all of these low .places between'the river and towu ditch. There are not many people who know bo# much water goes north and has to find Its way to the river through 12-inch pipes. Take the Waahlagton street drains north from the Washington Hospital to Third street; then to the ditch through 11-inch pipe; Pierce street (rem Main to Third; Bridge street near Mala to Third. Vsanorden abont mddway betweea Main and Beeoad to Third?when all that amount of wa ter gathers at Third street, then two 18-lnch pipes has to carry the water to the ditch, as It caa't get of. Just eo 1 can tell }ou about the drainage of fee whole town. 1 will mention that la more than one plaoe water crosses Main street and goes north to ,Cfce town ditch. Now U you would give us good drainage the grass and weeds might look unsightly, hot the oxygen that we would get mixed In with the odor of growing vegetation would not be as much a menace as the open closets all over town. Give us the sewer up Third strset and lefs have a clean town. There are seven or eight hydrsnt? on Third street and it any time the sewer could he flushed out.
