And florae that I am reporting of wade ground, I am
derienus of diming your attention to several places within
the City, where the nh+boants are accustomed to deposit
their trade refits., and thus to be a constant a.m. og Now-

One °libels in in Angel-alley, B• slitast. Ills •
large space of unclaimed ground that hes tensteted into

hundreds of tons of rubbish, besides many cart-loads of
oyster-.belle that base been recently deposited there.
Another such a place is in Wiltis'o-mart, Brackley.strest,
• third in Half-moon-alley, Little Mnorficids ; • fourth In
Featherbed-hill, Moon-lane ; and • fifth in Bussex-pin
Lesalentaliatreet. If these planet could be cleared
then paved over. or even If they could be hoarded in; the
nuisance would be abated, and the commission would &nun-
ally save a sum of money which they now pay to the sca-
vengers for rating tho reran, away.
"As to the water supply of Thompson's-mart that woe
referred to me for examination at the last meeting of the rem-
MiNllOll. I have to report that in the month of November,
1893, orders were given to the landlord to provide cisterns
hr the supply of the six booms in the court. He then
mected three tank. neer the elew.tm of the alternate houses.
Them tanks will hold about 450 gallons of water. But this
quantity is not milking for the 119 inhabitants of the court,
insides which the cistern are so placed as to receive the
offensive effluvia= from the closets, end the water is thereby
tendered unfit for dormant, um. My recommendation,
therefore, is, that as the ciaterns ore only sufficiently large to
Purply the einorts of the six homiest, an order be io-u for the
construction of another cistern capable of holdtng 600 pi-
tons and that it be erected with all needful appliances in the
Orders were issued accordingly by the rommisaioners.

premature to speculators to its ultimate intimate on the inter-
ests of learning. But one result is already apparent. The
task of preparing students for these examinationa has became
