approval of your Board. It appears, however, that it is the custom
of the Volunteer friends in the District to encourage the practice of
sending complaints of nuisances to their local head-quarters, instead
of forwarding them to the Office of the Board. And it is their
practice also to issue notices for the abatement of nuisances. Your
Committee forbear in this report to offer criticism upon those
practices, but would simply remark that they tend somewhat unduly
to inflate the value of the voluntary efforts at the expense of the
recognised authority and to offer the temptation to write such
communications as that which has formed the subjeCt of this report.
In closing this report your Committee have to add that for the
sake of convenience it has been directed that it shall be signed by
their Chairman on their behalf, and that a Copy of the communication
from the Jewish Board of Guardians which has been the subject of
enquiry shall be annexed to this report.
Dated this 15th day of December, 1884.
(Signed),
R. GLADDING,
Chairman,
