The Street and Sewer Department Is

Nabb, former bailin Of City Council,
has been employed as inspector. The
department has placed 3O4 notices in
Inspector McNabb's hands, all OF

has completed tour of tho districts
in which the notices were served and
found that 80 por cent of the people
had complied with the order to repair
