THE SANITARY SURVEY.

The SANITARY SURVEY.
The health officer, DIR. Purvis, and Supt. Of
Police Dobie are now making a sanitary survey
Of the city somewhat on the order Of that being
made by the sanitary inspectors in Washington,
but while it needs many dollars a day to pay
for the District inspection, the Alexandria san
itary survey is costing nothing to the city
treasury. A number of nuisances have been
discovered and the power of the police will
now be called into the matter, and all persons
who have willfully maintained nuisances on
their premises will be fined. Mayor Strauss
will give special attention to the preservation
of the health of the city, and preventive medi-
cine will be popular study here for some
months.
