East Ward.—In this Ward we have a large number of better
class houses containing from six to eight rooms and occupied bv
a very respectable class of people, part of this Ward is ot course
inhabited by a poor class of people but they are for the most
part cleanly and we find that when once the property has
been placed in a sanitary condition it remains so for a much
longer period than many parts of the Hamlet.
