employees OF the board OF health connected
with the SMALLPOX hospital snd the burial OF the

after he bad Left one of these cases of burial.
and COlciazeT had walked up 10 shake hands
with him He Rad some hesitancy about shak-
ng hands with him, and rebuked him for this

Iahe measures TO stop Il.
how THE NEW THING WORKS.
The acting health officer, Dr. Bliss, presented
a Partially consolidated weekly report of the
sanitary officers, showing the abatement of 273
Auisabeee. The report was imperfect, because
One ., me Inspectors mad not reported 1t was

DR.. Bliss called attention 70 the difficulties
HEleh the scsvengers and garbage men encoun-
tered IN the execution OF their duties, from the
ta't conciton OF the streets and alleys, many of
which are being improved by the board OF pub
lie work.. He cited an instance where a scay-
sBgeT had been tined SO in the Police Court for
beng out after hours with his cart, which had
broken down in consequence Of the streets being
iOtn up. He moved that the health officer be
t.lse,ed 70 communicate with The superintend-
tht OF police and request him to modify his
oTCers TO bis men so as to allow the scayengers
more Time for their duties, provided they do not
commence me emptyirg of sinks before IL
O'Clock p n; carried, and the report was
adopted.
Complaints of nuisanees and of neglect of

Mr.. LaDgston inquired WHY il was that the cfti-
zeEs Could not facilitate their work by setting
Their vessels containing garbage out in the al,
ley OF IN places where II can be easily reached.
Hr. Bliss II reply said that II seems difficult TO
eet the people to cooperate with the board.
ahey lad hsl 5000 circulars published, giving
The rules adopted by the board, and appealing
TO The people TO aid them in Carrying out the
system The only way TO reach the public is
oose h sie g B8oDie pres. he stated that Gov
IN any system they should adopt for the re.
nova. a. garbage. Another abuse in the system
l. That Tie garbage men dispose OF their coIlec-
ohS 10 dali men, no carry II about the streets
in opep barrels.
hr. LangsJOn sand he believed they could sell
.lt TINS privilege TO some good responsible man
Tor hai enough 20 reimburse the board the ex-
pense Of Its removal, which now il scr .S9S. He
believed there would De no difficulty in the
removal.
Ir. Bliss thought this impracticabIe-
mere was at least 90 tons OF garbage daily accu-
nulatlng here, and much OF il was worthless az
food TOT cows or swine and only 1T to be used a.
manure RE thought the most practicable way
va, To send II on IN the same channel with the
llsht soil The appliances used st night for
shiFPng night soil could be used In the dav
tine tor shipping this garbage. No action was
taken.
