FIGHTING TIE FAT MEN.

The Rendering of Dead Animals-fEhe Board
Of Health Still Hcsitate-Dr. Harris As
sailed for His War Upon Fat iien-The
Explosive OIL Tests.
This Board OF Health met yesterday for the pur
pose Of making some return to the public for their
fat salaries. President Lincoln occupied the chair,
and gathered about him Commissioners frame,
Stone stephen Smith, swinburne, Bosworth and Ma
nierre.
The attorney recommended the discontnuance
OF suits against the Trinity church corpo-
ration for non compliance with orders on
the payment OF fifty dollars into the
treasury OF the Board, which Recommendation
was approved The Sanitary Committee reported
that there was no known instrument sufficiently
simple TO enable the general pubic to test kero-
sene oils. A German, named 10 us setz, appeared
by counsel to induce the Board to RESTRAIN one OF his
neighbols from erecting tenement house IN
Second avenue, near Fifty-fourth street, which the
Board refused to do.
Mr. Carter OF ele New York Rendering Company
appeared TO show cause why their permit should
not be revoked. After reviewing the action OF the
Board the subject, he assaied DR.. Harris charging
him With saving one thing In his reports TO the
Board and the opposite TO officers or the company.
| He mad stated 70 him among other things thai the
apparatus OF the company was complete success
where he taarrsl resided MIR. Carter then read an
aiidavt from Ransom {. Park, discharged inspec-
| tor, charging that Or. Harris had endeayored to
compel MIN to report against the company place.
| and had discharged him because he refused Dr.
| Harris, in answer to queries oil Commissioners,
| announced that Park was discharged for
| no such purpose; that hs AFFIDAVIT was
| totally false as were also the statements
| or his QIarris9 conversation with Carter. \
| discussion followed, Carter maintaining that
II was utterly impossible for the company to comply
| with oil the terms upon which the permit had been
! granted. Messrs. Lincoln aad Swinburne favored
| the continuance or the alleged nuisance. The SUD-
| ject was finally after much nllbustering, referred
| to the sanitary Committee and the engineer for a
! report.
Carter then came In with an application for a
permit to convey from Brooklyn TO this city dead
| horses to be rendered here. This on the eve
| of being granted. when Manerre protested that
| Brooklyn should take care OF It's own animal dead
| and the request was refused.
