lao; hydrants in streets. 208; wells, 1866 Dur
houses and premises inspected; 564 nuisances
were found. and the usual action taken.
INCREASE IN THE INSPECTION.
Incidental to the report it may be Of in
terest to state that Of the squares inspected
seven were vacant and three had but ten
houses. The increase in squares gone over
was %, houses 2S7 and nuisances reported 1853
as compared with last weeks statement.
The figures given will show decided in
crease in the number of squares and houses in

larger number of inspectors on duty. Today
