Whatever can be said of the ac-

In flew speeches dncrying the

Said Dr. Brown. "Our board of
health does not function. It. has
organized itself to perpetuate pub-
lic nuisances." The doctor admitted
that while he was a member of the
board, he did not attend meetings.
because they "never got anywhere."
Concerning the bridge and park
committee. Dr. Brown said he did
not think the committee was capable
and thought it has been derelict in
its duty to the public.

Scaview avenue residents who have
been living under a pail of smoke
and clnders for days. and had taken
steps to haVe the fire extinguished.
John McMahon, chairman of the
committee. had already appealed to
Chief George Bogsrdus to put the
fire out by means of hose from
Seavlcw avenue hydrants or by
pumping Water from the river.
According to statements made at
the meeting. Chief Bogardus stated
that it would be impossible to- bring
the pamper out into the dump to
pump water from the river :and
saturate the smoldering refuse. be-
cause of the condition of the dump
road. Also. to lay hose across East
menus would mean to stop trolley
frame. Dr. Brown wanted to khow
if a. short period of irolleyservice
was paramount to comfort and
health of the persons residing in
the area. of the dump,
1 Park Or A Dump?
There has then much argument
concerning the value of such a will
as is being developed at the dump.
Dr. Brown made some statements
which disagreed sharply with Chair-
man John McMahon. and the re-
portshnd estimates previously pre-
pared by competent engineers- In
ansner. Mr. McMahon remarked, “I
think Dr. Blown has been very neg-
ligent in securing accurate informs.
lion concerning civic affairs. "
D1. Blown‘s argument was that
people did not call the subject of the
discussion "a park" They called it
“a dump " Representing the senti-
ments of almost the entire section.
Dr. Brown asked that there be some
relief from the "stinking moss." It
has the doctor's opinion that the
committee should make a small park
out of the land already filled in. and
that the complete park could devel—
on as time went on. Dr Brown said
5L
a
that the residents of that section
were not selfish because they asked
to enjoy something other than the
stench from the "park- dump " Dr.
onwn admitted that his section had
not been troubled during the past
two years by garbage odors. but he
felt that this summer the East Nor-
walk dump would create a, worse
nuisance than garbage odors.
Borrowing Trouble?
Frank Roberts, a member of the
committee. stated that the com-
plainants were only borrowing
trouble.
Mr. McMahon stated that in June
the committee would ask the board
of apportionment. for a special ap-
propriations to cover the garbage
with dirt as soon as it is dumped in
the park area, as was done in dur-
ing the past two years.
The doctor stated that the people
were there last evening to have the
fire put
sanitary means must be taken fer
the disposal of garbage. Dr. Brown
said the residents in that section
would be willing to furnish a fire
plug on the south side of Seavlew

the trolley in extinguishing the
dump fire.
