making a study of the mosquito and its habits
says that scientists hazy regarding the question

brick sewer. with pipe manholCs 5000 cubic feet
Of rock and 4 wharf and bulkhCad.
The boulevard and park have been improved by
the city a cost of thousands OF dollars. and We
think the government should place it's hest build
where they will face the boulevard and
park. where they will form part of the attrac-
tiVeneSS of the surroundings. We object strongly
q placing the barracks and morgue along the
boulevard. where they will uullify the whole i'm
proVpmCnt. We do not care how much the gov

we do protest against little attention being paid
to the large plan of beautifyng that part Of the
reserve which faces the park and boulevard.
