ment further commanded arrest the defendant
whereof hereby commanded the said defendant
and him safely keep until he shall the judgment be dis

street JAIL kept there three months and then, by vir
tue OF what ID called the "Fourtecn Day act" he may
give fourteen days notice Of the application to DO

solvent he Is discharged The proceedings are akin
10 those where criminal court conviction SEN

pay, for the judgments In these Health Board cases
are quasi criminal lines and are enforced In this
summary manner.
In view Of this fact, which very many do not
know, II would be best for all owners and lessees OF
tenement houses 70 comply promptly with oil res
sonabe requirements OF the Health Board. Exciu-
slve OF the $50 adjourned cases mentioned above
