* It will be seen in Table No. 1, Column No. 1, that the total number of Nuisances removed is 13,056, but that "number does not give the detail of each separate case. For instance : The case may be an Offensive Privy—requiring, 1st. Cesspool to be emptied and filled up. 2nd. To and Pan'd. 3rd, Pipes to be laid from Pans to Sewer. &c. If each of these were shown, as a distinct work ixeculed, the number in the Table and Column above alluded to, would be about 24,032.
