TENEMENT Houses are bad in their
influence upon any people who can be in

The ordinance committee should, with
out any further delay, report an ordinance
authorizing the appoin tmsnt Of q health
officer, and defining his duties. The re.
port Of the board Of health, suggesting the
appointment Of such an officer
was adopted several weeks ago, but the or
dinance committee seem to have disre-
garded the suggestion altogether. The
necessity for the appointment Of such on
Ger is urgent. No policeman will without
extra compensation, assume the discharge
of extra duties, and, u.lsss health officer
is appointed the present manifest neglect
Of sanitary matters will continue. That
