WHEN THE MERcURY's AT II.

With ears benumbed, and glowing nose,
He shivers, as the chill enfolds him,
Then as he passes on his way
A big, full blooded friend beholds
him;
And in the greeting that ensues
Comes forth the bitter question
whether
The winter season isn't great
And, "Say, but this is bracing
weather"
His feet are ice. his fingers stiff,
He snuggles dow within his collar;
He would not be abroad today,
But he must chase the fieeting dollar.
Now comes the verbal haunt again
Acquaintance viii come together
by George. I'm glad I'm out today.
Say, this is grand, crisp, bracing
weather."
His bones are chilled, the shivers creep
Throughout his body. ever ceasing,
And as the city's streets he treads
His cold discomfort is increasing;
The pavement sends its deadly chill
Straight through the thick tough soles
of leather,
But rings that dread thing in his ears:
Say, this is fine, crisp. bracing
weather.

Under the direction of the Sanitary Department there were s,sos iuspec- tions made during the month of No- vember. These covered the inepoet1on of houses, and all places where food stuffs are offered for sale. From the very start of the presen. administre- ton 1t was made evident that . gresf- CT amount of attention was to be paid to the sanitary department than had ever been given to 1t before. More in- spectors were appointed in order that the entire city might be thoroughix covered and in order that there might be . closer watch kept on markets and other places from which the food supp ply of the city comes.
 Mayor Gunter has required that aii departments of the city shall report to him once a month as to their pro gress and Saturday Marshall King. chief clerk of the Sanitary Depart ment. turned hfs report Into the May or's offfce.
 This report shows that out of the $500 inspections made. 1t was found necessary to serve notice on .Sss people that their places were fin an unsani- tary condition. Of these people so mo- tified. 1t became necessary to mako forty-seven arrests of those who would not comply with the law.
 The report also shows that there were removed FPS loads of garbage: that there were st1 carcases removed. mostly of dogs and fowls; that thero were $40 sanitary sewers thoroughly flushed, and twenty-one stone sewers; !; that eighty mine houses were fumigat- ed. and that one horse found suffering with gianders was killed.
 Clerk King states in his report that his inspectors have been so detailed as to permit of every house in the city being inspected at least twice month. and also to permit of a daily inspec- ton of places where food stuffs are of- fered for sale. In the inspection of these later places. 1t has been so arr ranged that different inspector shall visit any certain stand every day.
 Next month the new ordinance re. quirfng inspectors to don uniforms goes into effect.

OPPOSES CHAINED WHEELS
 ON CITY pAVEMENTS

In order to protect the new pave Tent recently laid on streets where there are & heavy grades and on those on which pavement is to be laid, 1t is the purpose of the Street Committee ot the City Council to recommend that an ordinance introduced into Council at its last meeting be changed.
 This ordinance makes 1t an offense to chain the hind wheel of a wagon when coming down any of these grades on paved streets. It Is proposed to add to this. that all country wagons coming to the city must be equipped with brakes.
 The Street Committee will be called together by Alderman Kennedy, who Is its Chairman. for this purpose, some time this week. At the same time there will be number of paving and other ordinances considered.
