l have no report from the Kipp
Butchering company. This slaughter
house is very unfavorably located and
in very bad condition.
1 inspect the retail meat markets.
fruit and vegetable markets once per
week. The average of the meat. fruit
and vegetables taken to the crematory
is about four tons per week, in the
summer months, and about one in the
winter. / was compelled to put a guard
on one meat market and personally see
that the meat was removed to the Gre
matory. l have had no other difficult
~ with the markets.
SCHOOLS.
/ have visited and inspected all of
the school buildings i'm district No. l.
The heating of the schools in the city
Is good, the ventilation only fair. as the
cold air is let into the rooms from the
windows, and it is impossible to pre-
vent more or less draught on the
scholars.
Tile parochial schools are very well
conducted. The rooms are small. and
the heating and ventilation are very
good.
The school houses where stoves are
being used cannot be made as comfort
able as those heated with steam.
l also found many Of the school rooms
very much crowded. l refer you to my
statement for April. as to the condition
of the crematories. consider them a
constant menace to the health Of the
scholars.
The city dump is too near the city
and is now a constant menace to the
health OF the city The stencil from
the dump is at times perceptible i'm the
southwestern part Of the city. The Gre
matory Is not doing satisfactory work.
II should be overhauled by a man who
understands it's workings In my judg-
ment IL is not adapted to the handling
Of night soil. as a special furnace is
constructed by the Eagle company for
that purpose. The whole Of the ground
owned by the city is fun and the night
soil is dumped on the adjoining ground
The county is using the city dump for
night soil
] called on the county commissioners
last week and they sent the road COM
missioner. William Bowen. with me to
hunt up a site for a new dump. There
are several good sites near and east OF
Whiskey gulch, about one and a half
miles west Of the city dump. The Cen
eral Sheridan, the Humboldt. and the
Germania are all favorably located for
dumping purposes. and there is no per-
son living near IL there. and IL is a
down hill from the city TO any OF the
above named sites.
South Butte and the Parrot additions
have no sanitary sewers This should
be remedied with as little delay as pos
sible. tt is much easier for me as build
Ing Inspector. to have persons COM
mence with the sewers at the time they
are building than afterwards. and IL is
very hard to keep that part Of the town
clean and in g sanitary condition with
out sewers.
You will see by my report on the
dairies and town cows that the loss Of
cows in the diaries is less than = Of l
per cent and the town cows over Is
per cent. / would suggest that ordi-
nance No. lis. section l, be- rigidly en-
forced.
/ would also suggest that the city
take action in the near future in regard
TO the West broadway. Colorado and
High school buildings. and Insisting on
the connection with sanitary sewers and
