...sides promises to leave it to us forever. Moreover, the site is not only high, but dry, and, being what is practically virgin soil, is free from any suspicion of the malaria that infects the older and lower parts of the town.

...bath-rooms will be torn out next summer and the whole system will be radically changed, as the construction was faulty from the beginning. The pipe from the street is altogether too small, and the tank often runs dry, to the great annoyance of those who use the water.

The complaint was brought directly to Dr. Sargent yesterday in view...
