Once again do We have to call upon the
honorable body oftho Selectmen of Rodney
to make more strenuous and efficient exer-
tions than have been heretofore made, to-
wards cleansing our streets and wharf from
the immense mass of filth and decayed veg
etable matter which is at present engender-
ing, to a great and fearful extent, diseases,
the most virulent in their nature and fatal in
their results--as experience has already
shown.


Are those who remain here during the
summer and most sickly months of the year
to have their lives and those of their wives
and children placedin jeopardy merely from
tho want of prompt and energetic action
on the part Of those in whom they have re-
posed confdence2 Surely not. The citi-
zens, themselves, we venture to state, will
take the matter into their own hands, and as.
sumo the responsibility" of performing that
which the proper authorities have neglected
TO do,


We have been induced to make these re-
marks from the suggestions of number Of
onr townsmen-and, even should they have
failed to make such quest, tre, as a citi-
zen of Rodney, would have done so, believ-
ing it to be duty we owe, not only to our

Immediately order the removal of these muir
sances, the people Of Rodney would be
perfectly justi6able in acting without their
sanction.


p. S. Since the above was in type, VIC
find that efficient measures have been taken
to remedy the evils spoken of. A person
has been appointed to inspect all places
likely to contain any thing calculated to in
jure the health Of the place; and we hopt
that no pains nor expense will be spared t,
render the town, what it has ever been, on,
of the most healthy points on the river.
