Inspection of streets from house to house during the years 1891, 1892, and 1893.

During the third quarters of both 1892 and 1893 three temporary Sanitary
Inspectors were employed, but the number of infectious cases in 1893 was
practically double of that in 1892, and the temporary Inspectors had the
additional duties of making daily enquiries at foreign boarding houses and
hotels as to new arrivals from abroad and as to their health, of making daily
inspections of the markets and market streets, and of shops for the sale of
meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit, in addition to assisting in drain-testing and
sampling, so that little time remained for house-to-house inspection in 1893.
