The whole people ought to rejoice that
the canals are at length to be cleaned. The
work has already been delayed too long,
and although the cost will be much greater
under the contract system than by the pro-
posed employment of three hundred or
i've hundred men for limited period, under
the direction of the City Surveyor, there is
a satisfaction in knowing that the public
health is not to be forever imperilled by1
canals filled with five years accumulation
Of filth and garbage. Letus clean canals.
