![f / [4] 6. Reports by the officers of the association as to the sanitary condition of any dwellings or properties of the very poor, on payment of a moderate tee. 7. A report, without fee, upon the sanitary condition of any public building, as church, school house, or place of public resort, within the city of Newport. The Association, in reality a Mutual Insurance Company for the preservation of private and public health, is not intended as a substitute for municipal inspection, and will not conflict with the public authorities, but will supplement their action. This mutual Sanitary Insurance Association desires to have every house in Newport in a perfect sanitary condition, and as its membership and inspection increase, there will be a corresponding increase of healthy houses in our midst. The association will keep on file the record of every house inspected under its supervision, and these records will be open to all who join, thus enabling those in search of a house to know which houses have been inspected ; a point of great practical utility to those seeking summer residences. The subscription fee of the association is $5.00. This entitles the member to have his house inspected and to receive a written report of such inspection. The analysis of well or cistern water is $5.00 extra. Application for membership should be made to the Recording Secretary. President—HON. SAMUEL POWEL. Vice President—HON. FRANCIS BRINLEY.
