A Model Street Sweeper OF tho Old
Regime.
At o meeting Of the Board of Health held yester-
day afternoon, City Sanitary Inspector Jones was
ordered to cause q thorough inspection to be made
OF all the tenement houses In the city and report
their condition TO the Board at an early
date. The Board passed a set or resolutions
eHlogising DR.. Morris, who has just retired from
the Department, acknowledging his services to
the Board, extolling his qualities as sanitarian.
The position is, however. filed by compel en-
gentleman, who has g. own up in the Department,
and from all appearances the pu,iic health VIII
sustain no loss by the change 1t is to be regretted
Dr. Morris should have left the Department
before
THE NEW UNIFORMS
came into use. 1t Is rumOred the Board
OF Health intends putting all Its employees
into uniform-for he would then have
an admirable opportunity OF indulying his
tendency Tor gold lace. The City Sanitary Inspec-
tor is to be pampered with prancing steed, capar-
isoned after the manner OF Henri OF Navarro, 1t is

Doctor surely could not have heard any thing OF the
even the glorious Seventh only to picture the C,ty
San.tay Inspector with Jolly chops set to d

thigh followed by retinue OF smallpox aubu

the dog days made their appearance the Inspector
might shut up the health shop, gather around hin,
all his
LEAN AND POORLY PAID CLERKS
and order them to pack up their knupsacks with
plenty OF good deOdO ling syrup and repair to
the Champs Eysees at HobOken Tor in excursion
and camping out Of months duration. 1t is to

be lost to the brave physician OF the seventh who
by all accounts, undersOes the hardships OF camp
life with wouderiul MUSCLE and it looks very like a

Superintendent Thorne dismissed a number of his
men yesterday. 1t has been this gentleman's policy
since he took charge OF the street sweeping bureau
TO pump all the men he had who were previously
under the benign sway OF Mr. Brown. This sucking
system has succeeded 80 well that Mr.. ThOine finds
