Holmes escape, and went out to look for
him. He has a couple of hounds, which

. THE CITY WELL KEPT.
The Health Departments Report on
It's Sanitary Condition.

It's Sanitary Condition.
Mayor McDonough, Alderman Harris,
chairman of the health and cemetery
committee of council and Alderman
O'Brien, chairman of the street and lane
committee, all agree that the city is in
first-class sanitary condition. Their
statements are borne out by the reports
of Health Officer Drummer, which show
that the death rate for the first quarter
of the year was less than for the 5ame
period during the three previous years.
Chief Sanitary Inspector Melvin says
that the sanitary condition of the city is
better than he has ever known it to be
since his connection with the health de-
partment The work of the inspectors
has at last succeeded in educating the
residents of the lower districts of the
city to some sense of decenCy.
The recent additions from the rice field
districts, and some of the foreign imml-
grants have proven the hardest classes
that the inspectors have to deal with.
There are now only two inspectors, the
force having been cut down last fall after
the Brunswick epidemic.
1.-THE city is in splendid sanitary con-
dition, " said DR.. Harris. "Thls is shown
by the healthfulness of the people. 1t is
distressingly healthy from a physicians
standpoint and if. this state of affairs
keeps up all the summer most
of US will have to take to the
woods. There are usually
lot of spring complaints, diarrhGa and
similar diseases, chiefly among the chill
dren. They have not made their appear
ance yet, however. though they probably
will this month. The drainage around the
city is in splendid condition, as is also
the sewerage within the city, due largely
to the increased supply of water from the
new water works. The sewerage depart
ment is doing its work well. and the city
is clean and in good condition generally.
1 think we can reasonably anticipate a
very healthy summer"
