Noth- ing, however, has yet been done to- wards the desired end. At present. refuse from the stores, factories and dwellings of the town are taken away by teamsters and dumped in places that offend, if not the nose, at least, the eye. It would be the proper thing for the -Corporation to pur- ichase` a. small area of low-lying land land utilize it,as a public dump. A [double purpose could be served as the ground selected would gradually be built up and ultimately reclaimed for building or. other uses. Theob- jectionable feature of having old tins,_ junk, discarded boots and . rubbers, broken glass, odds and ends, etc., thrown indiscriminately upon street corners or vacant lots all over `the town would thus disappear. ` I l I I I I907` ;u1\'ar`.cc- 1": Miss 1 ng her coumy%(:orrespondencVeg Blac1 Becau {practical man and has told the Council that if the amount he asks` -a modest sum, surely-is voted through he will see that the citizens [get ful1va1ue.\ Give him a hand,` `Town Fathers.
