To the Public; The undersigned
are gratified TO state that the
plague situation is very much i'm
proved and is still improving,
there having been since the first
day of January but two bacterio-
logically verified and but three
clinical cases of plague, with only
one death. What makes the situa-
tion peculiarly and distinctiveIy
satisfactory is the thorough CO.
operation on the part of the city
orally in the work of sanitation.
There is every prospect that by
the time the feet anchors in the
bay of San Francisco the city will
be cleaner than it ever has been
In it's history. 1t is quite evident
to us that the danger of an epi-

Of the board OF supervisors has caused
several banks of this city to demur
