SUGGESTIONS FOR SANITARY ORGANIZATION
IN THE CITY.
Having now enumerated the sanitary evils of
the City, and the remedies which appear to my
mind most appropriate for their removal, it becomes
desirable that, in concluding, I should point out to
you the organization which seems necessary to be
adopted during the gradual transition of the City
from its present to a healthier state;—an organization,
which may render this transitional period as
short as possible, and may most effectually contribute
to mitigate, for the time, the pressure of such
evils as cannot immediately be removed.
The object of this organization lies in a word;
—Inspection, Gentlemen; inspection of the most
constant, most searching, most intelligent, and
most trustworthy kind, is that in which the provisional
management of our sanitary affairs must
essentially Consist.
I presume I may take for granted that, in
some form or other, a Committee of Health will
exist, either as a Committee of the Court of Common
Council, or as one of this Honourable Court.
