~ COLUMBUS, June 20, 1867. :;
To the Board of Health: s.--
Cr~rrpMrN-Since my last report I have
busted myself in trying to improve the san
lLart cuuuILIon of my district. Having
nothing at my disposal by which dirt or
filth could be carried away, had to con-
fine my self to ordering persons to clean
up their yards, cutters and cellars, and to
put their premises in as good a condition
as possible. To the inactivity of the City
Council and the neglect Of that
august body to furnish me with the
necessary means to place my district
in proper sanitary condition, may be
attributed the many complaints arising
in District No. 1. have ordered vaults to
be sunk and others to be cleaned. 1 would
call your attention to large pond of stag
nant water on Bond street, just few rods
east of High street. 1t is new street and
Is neither guttered or graveled, and there
is no way in which, at present. the water
can escape. This pond should be filled up
Immediately, for If allowed to remain in its
present condition, it will be fruitful
source of disease in that locality.
Respectfully yours,
WALTER M. CLANCY,
I.fl1 Sanitary Policeman, 1st District.
John Brown. Sanitary policeman of the
Second District, reported as follows: 3 .
To the Honorable Board of Health: .
GENTLEMEN-Ih have devoted my time in
notifying the residents of my District to
cleanse their yards and privies, with which
several have complied. 1 have caused sew
eral private, alleys to be thoroughly
parties to cleanse their privies, and
in some of the above cases they have
sunk new vaults. I wish to call the
attention of the Board to a nuisance on
Center alley, which is caused by the pro-
prietor of the Buckeye House allowing
soapsuds ahd dishwater to be thrown in
said alley, and said alley is nuisance from
fully yours, JOHN Brown,
Sanitary Policeman Second District. 1
Jonas Pletsch, Sanitary Policeman of
Third District made the following report:
To the Honorable Board Of Health of the
City Of Columbus: +
GENTLEMEN-In my last report brought
to the attention of this Board the several
nuisances existing and requiring immedi-
mend that steps be taken to have the same
speedily removed as they are very detri-
mental and offensive to the health and
comfort of the people in their respective
neighborhoods. l now report that lot No.
II on the north-east corner of Strawbe rry
alley and Seventh street is in a bad condi-
ton, is filled partly with stagnant
water. and requires to be filled up.
Lot No. $50 in Ridgeway's addition
is in very bad condition and great nuis-
ance to the people OF that neighborhood.
On South Public lane, east of Washington
avenue, is a pond with stagnant water,
which has no outlet to it, and requires i'm
mediate attention of this body. On South
High street, north of George Hessenauer's
premises, where the outlet of the so-called
Third street sewer is, there is also a pond
of stagnant water, which is great nuis-
ancc, endangering the travel on said alley,
Respectfully submitted,
