carry out their duties so as to maintain the sanitary condition
of the district in a high state of efficiency. The Clerks
have carried out their duties satisfactorily, and have been
painstaking and obliging. The work of Mr. May, the
Dust Foreman, has again been most satisfactory, and he
has maintained the efficiency and punctuality in the collection
of the house refuse, which is so much appreciated by the
inhabitants.
I also desire to acknowledge the kind co-operation of
the other officials with whom I have come in contact in
carrying out my duties, and thank them most cordially for
their assistance.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
F. W. KING,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
