SANITARY STATE OF THE TOWN.
(TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUS'ST AM TIMES.) Sir, — I understand the Town Council meet next week, therefore, I beg to call their attention to the sanitary state of the Town. The summer is fast approaching when epidemics arc most prevalent. After the warnings given by our local medical men, and by Dr Cautrey in his able report. It is high time that means were taken to avert such a calamity as has befallen onr neighbors. The Council, as the Local Board of Health under the Health of Towns’ Act, have ample powers. I trust that they will at once take active measures to banish those fever-breeding deposits that meet tho eye in all directions. There is no time to be lost, as no one can tell the day when an epidemic may break out, if they are allowe 1
to exist, 1 may say, under our very noses.
1 have noticed at the corners o? some of our most indelicate and unsightly dr- , sits, and I cannot but notice a green fetid jninaturc lagoon in close contiguity to Mr Holt’s brick yard. The cause of which it would not take a Solon to discover. However, there they are, and the sooner a remedy is provided the better for onr olfactory nerves and health in general. —I air, ic„ Citizen. Clyde, Nov. 19. 1873.
