REPORT OF BOARD or HEALTH.
Gentlemen of the City Council -
The undersigned, your board of health
committee. upon organizing, find the
late mayor had turned over to Mayor
Winter three eases of small poX which
had no attention paid them to keep the
spread of the disease, further than Mr.
Slack had been engaged TO look after
their wants and inform the occupants t.
neither come out of their houses nor lei
any one enter This arrangement an.
swercd we'll while Mr.. Slack was present
at any one place, but one case being OF
TWcnty-scyenth street. and another Oh
Washington avenue, near Fifth street
the two extreme points nearly OF Cairo
the third in the heart OF the city, on
Twelfth street, near the public school,
and finding out. in the absence Of Mr.
slack from any one of these place,
parties were visiting the sick, we knew
the germs of the disease must be circulat
ing, and would in few days make il,
appearance elsewhere. A short time de.
ycloped the fact the case in the lower
part of the city died, Immediately after
wards ease developed itself in the old
Pilot house, on Washington ave.
me, near Tenth street. simultaneously
it broke out on Twenty-third street, and
another casc on Washington avenue near
Fourteenth street. We concluded II par
ties having the disease would 90
To the pest house We would open the
same, they refusing. and no way to COM
pei them, We, on recommendation OF the
city physicians. who kindly met with us.
commenced 10 quarantine the abOdc> OF
all patients. \ few other eases have
broken out in the same localities. all OF
which have had prompt attention. Yes
tcrday afternoon about 3 O'Clock Il case
developed itself upon the streets; the sub
icct was negro man, being 4 stranger;
We promptly housed him in an infected
house. At four o'clock your committee
had another meeting, together with all
the city physicians, and by joint action
decided il TO be policy To open the pest
house Immediately, and by 8 o'clock, the
strange negro, with nurse, provisions, etc,
was safely at the pest house, remote from
any habitation.
All cases that are residents will be re-
moved TO the same il willing, and care
fully attended to and nurscd,
The number of cases now m the city
is twelve, four OF which are coHralescsHt
and the balance, eight, are doing rs well
rs could be expected.
We have given the mayor full authority
To manage the whole affair,
with power to hire such help
