Title:
This group of buildings is bounded on one side by the city dump, on another by a tidewater swamp. The swamp smells at low
tide; burning refuse in the dump smells always. On a third side of this site is a particularly odorous hog farm, where hundreds
of pigs are fattened on garbage and swill. Never-the-less, the group of shacks provide homes for four shipyard workers' families.
"Very temporarily," they say.
