the advisability of repeating the old chimney
sweep law of June g. 1853, and of adopting a
new police regulation requiring chmneys to be
cleaned once a year where soft coal is burned
and twice year where hard coal is used.
The old chimney sweep ordinance provided
for the appointment of two chimney sweeps an
nually, and also directed them to visit every
house within the city and sweep or scrape the
fue OF every chimney. Permission was also given
these chimney sweeps to charge 20 cents for each
story of all houses thus visited by them.
II was further provided by the law that every
person refusing to allow this work to be done
should be fined S. Though the old law has never
been repeaed,Ji it is practically imperative. The
Commissioners think conditions have greatly
