dition ofthe factories mechanics shops and stables,
is also described. When complete, every street,
building and enclosure within the limits Of the
city will be registered, and their sanatory con-

to be purified and at all times 1t will deprive our
City Council of any plea of ignorance, respecting
evils and abuses which affect the health OF our
citizens.
