The council has appropi iated $500 for the work. The board of health held an important meeting Tuesday evening and decided to have a thorough inspection of all the premises in the city. The following sanitary inspectors were appointed: First ward, Martin Clark. Second ward, Lee Kapp. Third ward, W. J. Clark. Fourth ward. Frank O'Hearn. Fifth ward, William Acton. Sixth ward, Isaac X oble. Tlie inspectors will begin their work immediately and the board hopes that every one will have their premises in flrst-class sanitary condition when the inspectors cali . A record of the condition of all premises will be kept and a vigorous effort will be made to promptly abate all nuisauces.
