A.E.Lissaman, were of the greatest service in

mention especially the Inspectors of the Sanitary Department who did cheerfully and willingly coolie

work of the hardest kind.

behaved in a manner which makes me proud to be their "Chief," and that they have been admirably supported

by the unofficial community.
