<br /> #Further in conneo~ion with our previous discussions and our visit last
<br />~unday (July 5th) to the trash dump in Plnners Point which i sbelng used by the City.
<br /> At~the~monthly meeting of the 2~enroe Ward Civic and Social Club held
<br />last Thursday nl~jat, this trash ~ump-was the subject of considerable discussion. ~or several
<br />years,, through t~e ~lvie Club and the Garden Clubs of this Ward, t~e Oityhas reeeive~ eom -
<br />pta~u~imr.~.conne~ion with the smoke amd odors which th~ residents of Monroe Ward have to put
<br />up. with. and, ~ah~ha~e oause~ by this dmmp. The only sat~lsfae~ion which the people have receiv-
<br />ed ac. ~ariathat.aPlece of fire apparatus would be sent to the dump to e~inguish or wet down
<br />the fire, whichwould sm~ulderand blaze again as soe~ as the water had Stopped.
<br /> Thesmoke and odors referred to above constitute one side,of our complaint
<br />~ne,~e~aer,~s~de~As..~the~qmestion o f sanitati~n. The City ofPortsmouthwlth a population rapidly
<br />approaching IOO, O00ahould certainly investigate the m~desirable Conditions which exist i n the
<br />dmm~.&~ea.~;With-omar-dec.rs being called to the ax~ed forees a~dpeeple, mav~ng.~Po.~tem~u.~.~
<br />f~m all sections of the-country, thereb~lncreaaing ~he b~_za~As' of an epidemic, ~oo much ~at~ess
<br />cannot be-laid upon this matter.
<br /> The-only remedy, as we see it, woul~ be to provide faeliities
<br />~:~-A~.~mld, bledone -by means elf an incinerator. As is probably the case, Portsmouth's:
<br />onl~..~netae~a~e~t~e~on~,t~ace S.t. is greatly taxed a~d it is believed that if this matter is
<br />brought to the attent~ton ~f Gover~mentauthorities financial help can b e secured.
<br /> . ~u~llman.Howardprobablyknows, of the insanitary conditions and ddsa-
<br />grenoble .odOrS-whieh.exist,..and $oo, Councilman LaW~ence experienoed~ the pall of smoke which
<br />fell over the Stadium last Sunday.
<br /> Trusting that this matter willie given.immediate action, we are,
<br />
<br />Yours very truly,
<br />
<br />l~nroe War~ Oivio and Social Club,
<br />Joe. J. Cra~,in, Secretary.#
