lin, and the Mayor announced that he
would reappoint the present Janitor, J,

Sanitary Inspector George Nichols to the
fact that some vegetable markets and
commission houses on and K streets
were in the habit of sweeping their re-
fuse stuff out upon the sidewalks on
Saturday nights and leaving it there Sun
day mornings, and the practice must be
stopped Immediately.
Nichols stated that he had notified the
offenders, and also the Board of Health,
but no attention had been paid by the
former to his notice.
WELL" said the Mayor, sits going to
be stopped now, or you must arrest them
am going to see that the law is en-
forced"
The board then adjourned.
