moved in eight instances and 81
houses were fumigated. There were 80
deaths and 2l births during the month.
DIR. Craig has the following to say in
his report relative TO smallpox:
The report for April has been de-
layed three weeks because another
epidemic of smallpox threatened and
during this present month IL required
much work. extending far into the
night, every night this month. There

were called at great expense to the
