This had been served on each of the Inspectors pre-
sumed to be appointed

upon the City Inspector giving them blanks aud drec
ions The Inspector told them further that no such
Office existed had existed In his Depart snt he had
no blanks suit them The blanks used By the Health
| wsrdens would not the purpose. They admit
ted they knew netting of the duties incumbent upon
them, but thought they might acquire knowledge
Whst duty the Common Council Intend that the WY
appointed officers, placed In an Office which does not
exist shall perform remains to be explained by them

who were summsrily taken from him by that
body In February last The public demand 1t, and the
Common Council to deceive the public, continue to re-
commend and appoint officers, when thereis not word

into eectthe provisions Of this title rules and resa
laoIs OF the Board OF Health the law of

Thus, by the pundering majority of the present Com

mercles of cholera and all of epdemics, solely
because few of their hungry partsans want some
place where they gorge their fill from the treasury
How utterly base, reckless aud contemplate the

that of Ravalac and Guy Fawkes.
