SANITARY STATIsTICs-The following
interesting items We extract from report
presented to Council by DR.. s. l.. JepSon
Health Officer Tor two years past:
Number Of EuiSanctS AJatfd During
197S.-February, A; March, Z; April, II;
May, 49, June, SO; July, EOS; August, go

Gated IS follows First ward, rs; Second
l05; Third, IS; Fourth, 50; Fifth, 81
Sixth, 60; Seventh, 43; Eighth, 70.
1t will be seen that the Health Officer
abated 10 more nuisances the second
year Of his term than the first; and also
which is event. more important, that this
unpleasant work was done the pas,
spring almost entirely before the ap-
proach Of warm weather. We are glad
to see that the Doctor proGled by expert
Gnce.
The expenditures OF the Health Office
during 1878 were $52S 10; for 1874 only
s2l2 50. The greater expense of 1873 was
due principally to the presence OF small
pox in the city. The number OF cases Of
smallpox since February |, 1878, was 10
with 2 deaths, the last case being in july
1878; number OF cases Of cholera 80, with
90 deaths.
The general sanitary condition oil the
city, as compared with former years, is
certainly very creditsblc to Dr.. Jepson.
The cutters and sewers are kept cleansed
and disinICcted under the watChiul eye OF
the Doctor, and the health Of the city, we
believe, was never better than at present.
