It was left to Peter to draw the report, and when his draft was submitted, it was accompanied by a proposed General Tenement-house Bill.

Both report and bill were slightly amended, but not in a way that Peter minded.
Peter drew the Food-Commission report as well, although it went before the Commission as Green's.

To this, too, a proposed bill was attached, which had undergone the scrutiny of the Health Board, and had been conformed to their suggestions.
In November Peter carried both reports to Albany, and had a long talk with Catlin over them.

That official would have preferred no reports, but since they were made, there was nothing to do but to submit them to the Legislature.

Peter did not get much encouragement from him about the chances for the bills.
