sdered W. o. Bartlett appearing for the applicant
and Messrs. Allen and Bliss for the Board.
II was stated by Mr.. Bartlett that he was prepared
to show by the testimony OF leading physicians or the
CITY, taken before the referee and by the evidence OF
practical men, that the original report OF the inspec

also, by the testimony OF the Engineer OF the

that all he wanted resembling OF the resolution
stated that nothing had been done as yet to comply
with the order Of the Board, and that nothing would
be done.
A commissioner remarked that according to the
second report OF the inspector, there did not appear
to be any just foundation for the affirmation OF sucl,
an order.
