cided improvement over the contract
system is becoming self-evident to all.
since the expiration of the contract the
entire labor and responsibility has fallen
upon Inspector Lee; and all other things
being equal, with the means at his dis
posal, he has done as well as any man
could DO, In coming up to the public's
demands and the requirements imposed
upon him by the City Council. There
Is much yet to be done to secure the OBJ
ject desired, but no man, contractor or
inspector, can do all that is required by
