　　English goods were being smuggled into that city at a time when the Dutch supposedly

　　controlled trading in the area. And in Sacramento an excavation at site of a fashionable nineteenth-century hotel revealed that garbage had been stashed in the building’s

　　basement despite sanitation laws to the contrary.
