ell meeting last night and made some
remarks along sanitary lines for The

He also called attention to tn, pest
house and the detention hospital
There are two acres Of ground there
and it has come to be playground
| for children passing that way t'
school, It is not very desirable
place for children to loiter. The health
officer recommended that in place of
the old fence, which is very much ont
of repair, a barbed wire fence he
placed around the grounds. He also
recommended that gate be placed al
the Cause greenhouse entrance.
He called attention to the unsani-
/ tary condition Of the city builI: :

and they were on the watch for the

coriinglv related the story OF the loss
