" Hon Mayor and City Council "Gents
I hereby submit my monthly report for month ending 31st July 1901
" I can state with pleasure there is no epidemic existing at this time. The Pest House was closed on the 10th of July, rafter being thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. We have now one case of small pox with three exposures. The disease was contracted in Louisiana the patient only being a resident of the City a few days. They were quarantined and Vaccinated at once and no danger of an epidemic from that source.
"There is one matter which I think should be brought to your attention -viz- the Condition of the gutters were the sprinkling wagons get water there is ran overflow from wagon or leakage from Hydrants causing a pool
