    optimistic tone adopted by him in his annual reports—a tone quite unwarranted by the actual sanitary conditions existing—has naturally impaired the force of any serious criticism or warning that, in a less formal way, he may have offered to the authority.

Careful attention was promised. JOHN SEE Alt. ' o • (.. ; . (.
