LIMEWHITING OF COURTS.
There are ninety-seven courts and narrow passages in various parts of the
City, the walls of which, unless cleansed regularly, become dirty and
unsightly through the traffic of passengers or vehicles and the action of a
smoke-laden atmosphere. These are cleansed or limewashed twice a year
under the direction of the City Engineer. The following is a list of the
places so dealt with during 1908:—
