he theory OF the law" repned DR.. James, " is
that all this time can he saved by the board
uOng the work ltself, but In point OF fact
we haven't the money necessary TO the ac-
compllsment of 30 vast an undertaking.
rne amount of money availaDe for such purpose
is small and the board Is oohged TO be economical
IN its ex penditure the meagre Appropriation spe
cIhcally designed for this use. This money Is just
about sufficient to meet the DEMANDS OF specially
aggravated cases. " nlie we are doing all that Is
possible under tue circumstance. citizens make con-
sfant complaints by letters sent to Us and to the
newspapers, of nuIsances which they Insist shall
be abated without delay The resistance OF prop
erty-owners to the notices sent out by the board
