To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The purity of the milk is carefully watched, and it is impossible to buy even a pint of milk in anything but a sealed jar. Boston's drinking-water is equally well guarded. The water, as well as the sewage, is under the control of the Metropolitan Water and Sewage Commission. There is a 134 GKEAT CITIES OF THE UNITED STATES high-pressure distributing station at Chestnut Hill, which gives power sufficient to force water to the highest of Boston's buildings. The sewage of the down-town sections of... the city is collected in a main drainage system, pumped through a tunnel under Dorchester Bay to Moon Island, held in large reservoirs, and discharged into the water when the tide is going out. The sewage of the outlying districts is conveyed to various places in the harbor and discharged into the water at a depth of thirty or forty feet, where it can be quickly carried out to sea. Our stay in Boston is now at an end. Not only have we traveled over many miles of her streets and visited her famous State House, her busy wharves, and her in- teresting playgrounds, but we have reviewed many events of her thrilling history.
