The Mayor laid before the Council the fol-
lowing communication, which was read and
ordered spread on the minutes:
OFFICE BOARD OF HEALTH |
State of Louisiana. I |
New Orleans. August e, 1881 |
Hon. Ed. Pilsbury, Mayor of New Orleans:
tsir-The Board of Health deem it Of the ut
most Importance to secure and maintain an
supply OF carbolc acid of good
quality, and regret to find that importers OF
Calvert's acid are unwilling to keep up q sup
require is guarantee that 1t will be taken off
their hands and paid for by the city, i
Besides, I regret to notice that the last
crude carbolic acid furnished by Page u Co.
is not up to it's usual standard, being very |
offensive in odor from the presence of sulphur
compounds.
Unless prompt action be taken by the city
authorities, 1t Is evident that our efforts at ar
resting the fever must be shortly ended; while
we believe that the results decidedly justify
a continuance of the present system OF disin-
lection.
/ beg also to call your attention to the fact
that our sanitary police are working, under
great encouragement, on account OF their In
services after the month of July: These men
have families, and by their zeal, energy and
fidelity in the present emergency, for the pro-
lection of the public health, are worthy OF
stances, think it would not only be matter
of simple justice, but also of policy, to give
these men guarantee Of the punctual pay
ment Of their salaries.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
SAML chopin, M. D.,
President Board of Health.
P. S.-Your attention is invited to the ac-
cOmpanying telegram from Mr.. u. L. Brlen
