Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

All departments of the city hall were subjected during 1898 to thorough inquiry, particularly as to their bookkeeping methods. Great improvements were introduced. The police justices were allowed fixed salaries and the fees were turned into the city treasury. The water office, which had been a prolific source of scandals, was thoroughly investigated, inundated and washed. The crude system of accounts and the unsystematic conduct there were entirely changed and reestablished upon better and more modern lines. The water rates were reduced and the revenues increased.
