About a mile beyond and at this side of the briage | there is an open biock that has been made the re- | eeptacie of nearly all the disease-creating refuse of the Twelfth ward, and which has made the place almost uninhabitable tn consequence of the foul and pestileatial efMluvia that continually artses ffom tne noxious deposit Whatever has been said in reference to tie operations of McQuade and others will apply with equal, if not stronger, force to the action of the coniractor, | Kobert Brown, who is filling in the square bounded by 124th and 126vu streets, near Fourth avenue.

The cause of the nuisance wns that certuln acids were used to reflue toe crude oil more speedily that it could Otherwise be. Dr, Chandier thought that the common law | concerning Duisances would OVERRIDE THE CHARTERS of these private comwpauies, vecause the public health stands above the interest of any chartered | corporation. it was giso shown that all this petroleum nuisance Was not slone at Long Island City, but | that a good deal of it existed in Brooklyn ityeu— notably Wiluamsburg and Greenpomr—anu thoat possibly a large portion ot the steach came trom there. On this point there was some diterencs of opinion, but the Long Island City doctors tho: that the matter shouid be investigated thoroughly. ‘They said that as tar as the manner of refining the petrolenm was concerded retineiies could bo in duced to make some siecrifice of method for the | suke of te pubiie healt!
