The SanIt,rr state of the CITY.

Dr. Townshend stated yesterday that his in.
spectors were doing satisfactory work toward
cleaning the city. The system inaugursted of
inspecting by squares had proved a judicious
diately abated. This was due mostly to the
long winter season and partly to the indifier.
enCo OF the people in the matter. The in
spectorS find that their efforts are heartily
seconded by the majority of the citizens, who
either personally notify them of existing
nuisances or send word to the health officers.
The chain gang has been found to be very
useful, and does very good work in cleaning
out alleys and cutters, and filling In ponds
where stagnant water has been allowed to re-
main. No part of the city or District Is to be
overlooked and by the coming Of summer
there will be no reason tor complaint TO say
that Washington has nuisances Of any kind.
