Professor Langston stated that this was only
partial report Of the labors Of the committee;
that the claims continued TO be received although
coming in slowly, and hoped by the first Of No
vember they would all be In and the report closed
The Commissioners would De unaDle1DeiOre the
LIST proximo 20 furnish the money to HQuidate the
claims, at which time IL was hoped no further de-
lay would be made. Nearly al Of the claimants
were very poor, and needed the money badly to
secure home comforts, Of which they were de-
priVed by the smallpox injecting the clothing
they possessed, and which, consequently, was de-
str0yed. This money viii come from an appro-
priatiOn made one year ago for this special pur-
pose, and il is anticipated that the aggregate
amount Of the claims allowed viii cover and ex-
haust It. The Commissioners should turn the
sum over to the Board Of Health at as early
day as possible, as they are we'll posted on the
legality Of the claims and can dlsburse the fund
to the advantage Of the District.
The two frame tenement houses and premises,
situated in alley between Nineteenth and TWen-
tieth and L and Al streets northwest, the property
Of John Farrell, having improper drainage, no
water supply or ire protection, and being below
grade; the two frame tenement houses and
premises, situated In alley between Nineteenth
and Twentieth and L and NJ streets northwest,
the property Of Martin Ford, having leaky roofs
rendering the walls damp and the rooms I'M
healthy; the three tenement houses situated in
the same alley as the above property Of Martin
Ford, having improper drainage, &C.; the two
frame houses situated in the same alley, the
property Of George Fry, and two frames in the
same alley, the property Of Adam Dade, were
condemned as nulsances, and the health oficer
ordered TO abate them.
The board then adjourned.
