The supervision of the Dust Contract is divided between
your special Dust Inspector and the Out-door Superintendent,
the latter taking a certain small specified area, which will be
changed fairly frequently, so as to ensure that every eighteen
months or two years the whole of the district will have come
under the independent inspection of two officers.
