report was then received from the City Inspector
stating that the quantity Of frewood, charcoal and
coal sold in 1886 and 1887 was as follsws:-
The total quantity Of frewood sold IN 1886, was
243 1884 loads, amounting 10 500, 3i7, S3t. In the
rear 1897 the quantity of wood sold was 29S All IL
loads amosnting to S625,471,6i IL. So 4 follows
that although 54629 more loads were sold IN 1887,
the amount of the whole II sos $40 80 less than in
1886 and If the quantity sold in 1887 had been at
the rate of 1885, il would amount TO $Si6 26i 49, be-
ing deduction on the comparative expense OF tins
article of 500 100 AZ in favor Of 1897.
By the returns Of the amount Of charcoal sold, II
appears that in 1896 there were 29l, 1856 tubs sold,
amounting 10 Sll22ll,20. In 1897 there were 234.-
ITO tubs sold at $50 200 being an amount Of 7776
tubs less than in 1886 The proportIenate price will
make the difference of 02e "a Of cost in favor Of
this year. 80
The amount of anthracite coal sold is 5000 tons
less than in 1886, and Is undoubtedly very email
proportion of that which has been inspected buithe
comparative price of with that year on the amount 30
