THE SOAP FAT WAR TO BE KEPT uP-uS-
REATHLY BATHING, ETC.
At meeting of the Board Of Health, last
night, the health officers report for the week
past was read, showing 293 nuisa noes abated,
and large number ofcondemnations of articles
unfit for food.
Health Oficer Keene called the attention of
the board to the very large quantity OF traits,
vegetables and marine products condemned,
and states that his orders have been m Dat rigid
In relation to the inspections of articles brought
some distance to market by rail or boat and
most likely to become quickly stale and poison
ous; special attention having been called to
eacum6ers, crabs, CLANS, &c: The result shown
Is excellent, and no thoughtful person car fail
to appreciate the good done by a service that
has rid the citizens of some IL or Is cart-lO
of stale and unwhOlesome food in one week,
thereby preventing inruinerable acute sickness
and perhaps deaths. This branch OF the health
depar .msnt carries with its operations perhaps
more immediate benefits than any other.
A communication was received from NJ. A.
n Browne, attorney for the board, stating III At
a docisen had been rendered in the case of the
Board Of Health against the Bates soap ia ,tory

Instructed to examine the various places on the
river and creeks where people battle, and re-
port If sewers do not empty into such water,

ing explicit as to the times and the places for

Dr.. Verdi was instructed to commune ate with
Major Richards in relation to the enforcement
OF the law in the case.
The health officer returned the complaint of
the residents on the south side OF Pennsylvania

information that though the area was a very
dangerous place, it did not come within the
jurisdiction of the Board of Health, belonging
