been abated. There is large pond of wa
ter on the corner OF North High and War
rem streets, the property of w. A. Gill.
The Inspector isinformed that there Is an
ordinance to grade and pave it. If this
ordinance was complied with, it would
abate the most OF the nuisance.

the Mayor refused to act in the case.
That part of the report relating to the
refusal of the Mayor, was referred to the
City Council.

as such places can be kept. The streets had
been cleared of much filth, and many nui-
sances complained of had been abated. He

found them in good condition.

takers still showed a disinclination to COM

permits. O. az
