condition than at the present time. The gas works
have also been rendered as little OF nuisance as
possible under their peculiar conditions; and even
the ammonia factory up town. near the East ilver,
has been brought into the range OF the city sapl-
tary regulations. In these respects TIE metropolis
compares favoraby at present with any portions
OF It's previous history.
The sewerage OF the city has also received good
