SUGGESTIONS TO THE COUNCILS
The Latter Will Be Asked to Take
Steps to Make the Streams Less
Dangerous to the Health of the
Community Food Inspector
Thomas Still Pursued by Garbage
man James Duggan.
Yesterday's session of the board of
health was lengthy one and developed
considerable business in consequence
of the long spoil of hot weather which
lias ciiuned inuoh sickness, and uiud i
Stafford Meadow and Roaring Brooks
und tho (ireeu Uldge stream pull ut 3(1
carriers. Id fact u considerable por
tion of the beultb officers' report sug
gested iuiineiluto uution to purify thoso
streams, and councils wilt be asked tj
tuko action upon the matter and build
sewors in a number of thickly popu
lated districts.
The sucrutary's mortality report for
July showed the total number of
deaths to bit 101.
Dr. Allen's report showed that the
excessive beat bad developed a large
number of smelling nuisances, and that
low water in a number of streams um
put tuvui lu a polluted condition.
Thi-re is not enongli of water iu tuu
Stafford Meudow brook to carry oil a
lurge accumnlatiou of refuse from tuo
silk mill aud brewery and a sawer of
pipe drain should be hid ut onoe.
ROARING BROOK H FOL'L.
The sumo cause has turned the Roar
ing brook into it source of foul aud dan
serous odors, particularly below tbe
steel worki. Tbe Green Ridge stroma,
flowing from the cemetery is used as u
sewer aud during the dry season has
failed to do its work,
The secretary was Instructed to no
tify all property owntrs conducting
sewage into the Green Ridge brook to
disconnect within twenty days and to
avk councils to hasten the building of
a sewer in (bat district.
The health officer's report mentioned
the need of a gewor on upper West
Lackawanna avenu.9, where there ex
ists un almost unbearable gutter odor
mid "general nastiness," as Dr Allen
expressed it. It wa stated tbat this
couditiou would exist until a sewer is
built, and tbe same reference wai
made to bcrunton street. The condi
tion of both theso streets will be made
known to tbe sanitary committee of
councils with tbe suggestion that the
diiirlcts uUected be properly equipped
with sewers.
The report of Food Inspector
Thomas rhowed that hu bad been after
those who sell bob veal.
Mil. THOMAS EXONERATED.
It having been charged by James
Duggau, a North End garbage man
tbat Food Inspector Thomas did not
placard houses where contagious dis
eases exist in the time specified bylaw,
Ollicor Burke reported that be bad
seou Dr. ltoos, the utteuding physician
at two of tbe cuses specified by Air.
Duggau, who Btated that the charge
was untrue.
Mr. Duffgun appeared later In the
session and said Air. Thomas bad not
visited several Green Ridge milk depots
in a month. Tbe board informed the
garbage man that any further discus
sion was unnecessary.
Sanitary Officer Bnrke announced
that during the summer months com
plaints are coming in so rapidly that
be hits not time to give them all proper
attention. All tbe alleys and lanes
should be frequently visited and for
this purpose he suggested tbat tbe
mayor be asked tu assign a policeman
to assist Lira for as long n period as the
work demands. Tbe secretary was in
structed to ask tbe mayor to detail uu
extra sanitary polioemun.
Dr. Payne called attention to tbe un
healthy couditiou of Robinson street,
and bis motion that property owners be
directed to connect with tbo sewer
within twenty days was adopted.
REPORTS FROM THE BOROUGHS.
Owing the proximity of Dunmore
and Taylor to tue city line and to the
possibility that contagious diseases
might be contracted from residents of
tl.ese boroughs, their boards of health
will be required to forward weekly re
ports to the health department of tbia
city, and special reports if necessary.
It having been called to the atten
tion of the board that a number of gar
bage collectors are not using cloud
cans according to law, they will bo
given five days to procure proper
equipments or they will be proseoutod.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THREE YEARS
An Excellent Business the Result of
Industry and Careful Consideration
of the Wants of Patrons Remark
able Career of the Eureka Laundry
Company, One of the Electric City's
Many Stirling Enterprises.
Among the thriving enterprises of
the Eleotrio City none have made
greater progress in the past few years
than those devoted to tbe work of
cleansing the garments and bonsehold
linens of the public Only a few sea
on ine firat-olass laundry work was
u,u ,own in Seranton. Tbe perfection
that has been aobieved in the promo
tion of machinery for this work can
soarofly be comprehended by the indi
vidual who has never visited a first
class steam laundry.
A fair illustration of what may be
accomplished iu this line by careful
mausgemsut coupled with enterprise
WASHINGTON AVKNUB ENTRANCE,
and energy is glveu In the history of
the Eureka laundry, which was this
week located iu elegant new quarters
on Washington avenue and Dix sourt.
The Eureka Laundry company was
crpatitzid Jan. 19, 1891, and commenoed
business in Garner, Brown & Co.'s
building at corner of Adams avenu
and Lindeu street. Two small laun
dries were absorbed by the new con
cern which embarked upon a business
career with high alms. The business
ut.that time was placed iu the hands of
Mr. John J. Van Nort, who has aoted
as general manager of the concern tip
to trie present, ine condition or tbe
establishment at this date is evidence
of the keen foresight and ability of the
manager under whose administration a
thriving business has been developed
that covers a goodly portion of the field
for fine laundry work in this city and
vicinity. Embarking in the enterprise
almost unkaowa to tbat particular line
of trade three years ago, the Eureka
Laundry company today gives evidence
of the most flattering prosperity in the
control of a large share of the trade in
this valley.
, The company has four fine delivery
wagons on the . road and their trade
reaches every poiut of the city and up
through towns and down ths valley
from PeckviUe to Laokuwanna. The
parties in charge of this branch of the
business are popular for uniform polite'
ness' aud complaint of inattention or
negligence is seldom heard lu that do
partment.
The business of ths laundry has In
creased to such an extent that quar
ters wbloh were considered spacious
three years ago have long sinox been
too small for the proper handling of
tbe volume of weekly work, and the
company have been obliged to seek
more commodious apartments. Some
time ago they sucoeeded in purchasing
n line property at ai'i Washington ave
nue extending to Dix court, upon
which tbe new home of the laundry
has been erected from plans by experts
who had iu view tbe best faollitios for
convenience and comfort of employes
as well as opportunities for rapid and
thorough work.
Tbe new edifice which is three stories
high on tbe Washington avenue front
and four stories on Dix court Is a
model of Its kind and contains the
latest and most approved machinery
and applianaes necosiury for flue work.
DIX COURT ENTRANCB.
Tbe engine und wash room on tbe
first floor of the Dix court portion, of
tbe building is amply fitted up for the
reception of tbe garments to be lauo'
dried. A 25 borss power engine far
nishes motive power to propsl five bras
wasblng machines, two centrifugal
wringers, mangles and other maobin
ery. Immense water filters and steam
condensing apparatus are also situated
on this floor. Tbe filtering and coa
denslng appilanoes form the most lm'
portent features of the laundry bust
ness in tbe aid of fine work. The hot
water used for washing Is made en
tirely of condensed steamwhloh Is purl
ty itself and tbe water which
oomes from ths large flltsrers
to be used in cleansing the
soiled clothes is mnoh freer f rom im
purities than tbat whlob most of ns
drink. Thus It will be seen that no
matter what the condition of tbe water
from the city reservoirs, which is often
affooted by rainstorms in the spring
and fall, tbe uniform extellenoe of
Eureka Laundry work Is unimpaired
by the elements, and the garmeat that
enters tbe wash room on the first floor
of the building is certain to be thor
oughly cleansed before starting on its
journey to the finishing departments
on the tipper stories, : from whloh It
emerees snotless and glossy.
Tbe business office is situated on
Washington avenne, and ths receiving,
assorting and bundling rooms arc
found on the same floor in the rear,
El

and ths collar aud snS ironing ma
chines are also operated on this floor.
Un tbe third floor is . situated tbe
sbirt-lrocing department, where all
tine white goods are finished. This de
partment has been arranged with spe
cial attention to the comfort of tbe
busy workers who throng the nlaoe.
The room for heating Irons is entirely
separate from the work room and tbe
ventilation, by aid of large fans, has
been brought to a state of perfestlon.
Tbe lourta floor is used as a dry
room and contains the starching ma
chinery. Family washings are taken by the
ponnd, at the rate of 6 cents per ponnd.
This rate includes the ironing of flat
goods, tuoh as table linen, beddiug,
towels, etc, the other goods being flu-
isnea rough dry, ana males garments
starohel, ready for ironing. Neatness
aud despatch are among the mottos of
the Eureka. Although time is gener
ally essential for first-olase work, yet
the facilities of this establishment are
such tbat washing la urgent eases may
oe tnrned out with rapidity tbat would
seem almost incredible.
Tbe company, which is to be congra
tulated upon past achievements, in ita
new home will, no doubt, eujoy addi
tional prosperity in accord with the
pleasant surroundings.
MANY TALES OF WOE.
Listened to by the Sympathetic Mem
bers of the Poor Board Ac
tion Taken In Cases.
The poor board was called upon to
witness many affecting cases yesterday.
The first that came before tbe board
was that of Joseph Sueeuau, a small
blind boy who had been in an educa
tional institution in Philadelphia, bnl
had to be withdrawn by bis parents
who were too poor to pay for his keep
ing there. His sister, only a few years
bis senior, with tours in her eyes pleaded
with the board to taka caro of bor
blind brother, who she said had great
musical talent which if developed
would equip blm to take care of him
self. The secretary of the board, Mr.
Lynett, was instructed to make in
quiries as to tbe oost of maintaining a
child in Institutions for the blind and
Director Gibbons, iu whose district the
boy lives, promised to look after hie
case.
The Elwyn Horn a matter was
brought before the board by the ap-
pearauca of Attorney Doan and Direc
tor Brink, representing the Elmhurst
t'oor district, wuiab the bcranton
board claims is responsible for the care
of tbree of the eight oblldren that are
at present being supported at iuwyn
at the expense of tule district. Tbo.se
three charges are cbildreu of John
Rodeheimer who lived in Seranton
when the ohildreu beoame a charge on
the distriot, which was in 13sJ7, but
who a year later moved to Llmhurst.
The recent investigation brought the
matter to light aud it was decided to
remove these three children from El
wyn aud torn thm over to the Elm
hurst authorities. The Elmhurst rep
resentatives stated tbat if it Wt
proven tbat the children were legul
charges on their district they would
keep them at Elwyn.
While the discussion was solnir on
John Ward, the tailor, who claims that
he lost bis leg while serving a term at
tbe Hillside Home, was, on motion of
Mr. Gibbons, gaanteda continuation of
his "pension" of (3 per month,

of her children. Mrj. Swan was somo.
what dubious about the question "Is
Marriage a Success? '' so far us the pe
titioner was concerned, and at her sug
gestion Mrs. Kline concluded to leave
the children at tbe home for a month
or two, while she is experimenting with
the au-important question.
Thomas Alnsbury, CJ years of age,
wanted to go to the poor farm. He
Bald he had never been married, al
though he had lived twenty years on
tbe West Side. He was sent to the
Home. Miss Jordan, of Green Ridge,
