Simply A Suggestion

Now, faoneatly, would it not be economy for the city to make some bargain with the owners of the slaughter houses on the north side of the river to remove them? A few years ago, when Dr. Breakey was health officer, he had negotiations so far advanced that the city could easily have been rid tliis uuisance by providing, at a slight expense, other ground for the purpose, in some more out of the way locality. Slaughter houses are necessary, and the present location is one selected for the butchers by the city. Now thut the city has extended its lirnits, and the present location of these places are a uuisance to many of its citizens, and especially to the children attending the 5th ward school, the city ought to take hold of the matter again, and make another change. If the cholera ever reaches Ann Arbor, which it is quite likely to do, such pestholes as these are rich feeders for the disease, and through the meat sold to families all over the city, it can be easily scattered. The old slaughter houses ought to be removed, and with new buildings there would be a great deal less danger of breeding and scattering the dread contagión. Will not the board of health, the council, or or soineone having authority, move in the matter?
