SUMMER FLUSHING OF COURTS.
The usual flushing of courts and alleys in the more thickly-populated and
poorer parts of the City was carried out as usual during the summer months
under the directions of your Superintendent of Cleansing.
The main streets and thoroughfares were also regularly and frequently
washed, and your Engineer informs me in the above services no less than
42,552,601 gallons of water were used. Disinfectants were also freely used,
as explained on p. 60.
