It's just a level of local council: Urban Sanitary Districts existed nationally from 1875 to 1894. Their purpose was to maintain and improve public health services in urban areas, although they had more powers than Rural Sanitary Districts due to bigger problems. Number of units in system: 999 Merry |

it really does look like a V, but the date fits it was 1887. Never heard of them before myself! These 'units were houses? in these districts. k |

I copied that last sentence by accident! Maybe that's how many USD's there were in the country when they were set up? Merry |
