Then he will visit the factories and look for flagrant violations of the factory laws. He will then drop around to the hotels, see if they have a license, and look into the sanitary arrangements.

Probably he will take a look to see if the sheets are nine feet in length. Also he will examine to see if there are proper fire escapes and if there are any piles of rubbish lying around loose. Then when he is done he will forward his reports to the secretary of the board of health, but will include a report for the labor commis sioner, the hotel commissioner and nre marshal.
