When such boxes are unloaded in front of a storo they must bo unpacked immedlately and then removed. The dumping ground on Union street will be abolish ed, and signs will be posted there for bidding the continuance of the nui sance. The present accumulation of rubolsh there will be burled. Some flagrant actions in connection with the use of this dump which have conie to attention recently have been a menace to health and.the offenders un questionably laid themselves liable to prosecution.
