you that Is suncient assigned for the death
OF so many infants In your city.
Is 1t not time for Mayor and Common Council to
look TO the health and interests of Brooklyn, II
they no regard for the health of other cities Is 1t
not also time TO commence the reform held out to
czens prior 20 last election and at least make and
wise laws bearing on the health and responsibility of
CITY, wnlcn AT present are dead letters.
Unless something is speedily done by city autho-
rites TO remedy the many evils which ut present exist
think the people of Brooklyn will not again take
promises for reform, but cast out of Office in
cumbents, and elect fearless men to administer
justice the public not hesitate for fear of losing
