ACTION OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

At meeting OF the Board OF Health yesterday
resolution was adopted requesting the Police
Commissioners TO consent to a transfer OF 81, 900
from the unexpended police balances of 1874 for
the use OF the Health Department to be applied TO
vaccinating purposes. Notwithstanding the uni
versa popular Indignation against the oathsome
condition o. the Harlem fats, expressed again
and again, the pest beda remain untouched. The
stumbling block this time appears to consist OF
Comptroller Green. 1t VIII be remembered
that about q month ago the Board OF
Health determined to take upon itself
the work OF filing in portion OF the
oisease-breedlng Oats, and to that end
petitioned the Board OF Estimate and Apportion-
ment for an appropriation with which to perform
the work. After "a little delay an appropriation
OF $2l,o67 43 was granted, and the Health Depart
ment Immediately began the long deferred and
needed task.
Although nothing was heard from the money,
the Health Commissioners did not doubt Tor
moment that the sum appropriated for the work
by the Board OF Estimate and Apportonment
would be forthcoming Two weeks ago some OF
the contractors employed became uneasy as to
the certainty OF their compensation, and re-
quested Information with regard to the same. A
communication was accordingly sent by the Sec
rotary OF the Health Board TO the Comptroller, re-
not been Forwarded by him. Inc Comp
troller's reply was evasive and unsatls-
factory, and conference resulted, at
which it was ascertained that Mr.. Green's
obstructive qualities had become agtated. He
had serious doubts as TO the legality OF an appro-
priation measure, and besides, the Harlem Oats
were not so bad and he was not going TO pay
over the sum appropriated until the matter mad
been tested. The Board OF Health powerless, in
consequence, to proceed with the filing in, were
compelled to suspend operations.
The following resolution. introduced by Presi-
dent Chandler and adopted 10y the Board, bids
fair 10 be the initial step 20 legal battle between
the Board and the watchdog OF the city treas
ury-
whereas this Board has declared the district known
the Harlem Oats TO be in condition dangerous TO the
public health and has ordered the TO be properly
/ drained ana hed and whereas the Board Of Appor-
tonment has transferred the OF $2l 67 81 from the
une expended balances OF this department years
1872 and 1873 for this purpose, and whereas this Board
employed suitable agents execute the
work under its direction, and whereas questions have
arisen as TO legality Of this action by which the X
ecution Of the work Is seriously retarded, therefore
Resolved That the Corporation Counsel be aud hereby
is respectfully requested to inform this Board at his
earliest convenience whether the Board of Anportin-
ment did legally transfer the necessary funds Second
