CONSULTATIONS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH-wORl

CONSULTATIONS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH-WORK
OF THE DIsINFECTING CORPS.
The Board of Health yesterday received the
report Of Sanitary Inspector Tracy on the condition OF
the garbage dump the foot Of Laght-st complaint
has been formally made to the board, signed by large
number OF influential citizens declaring the dump to be
nuisance Dr. Tracy reports that the complaint fully
warranted. He attributes the 10 the imperfect
sinfectOu and suggests the experiment OF providing
the dOckeeper with the requisite quantity and quality
Of dsinfectants to be applied his discretion, and 70
hold him accountable for any further nuisance from the
dump This has been adopted and In case OF its
failure the dump will be abolished The attention Of
the board was called to the of Benjamin Willis, to
whom a permit was granted in August last to dump
ashes and sweepings at MISUNDERSTANDING
seventhst. and Fifth-aye., on condition that
he should make stipulation that the
dumpings should be free from all garbage.
1t seems that the dumpngs at that point consist OF
greater proportion Of garbage than Of asles and straw
Mr.. Willis made the stipulation, as ordered by the
board but carried on the business of dumping without
it. Mr. Wlllis's permit has therefore been revoked.
Among the noticeable features in the reports TO
the board OF the work OF the subdepartments appears
the fact that during the week 1O4 miles of streets
and $40 garbage.boxes have been disinfected The
dsinfeeting corps have visited and dsinfeeted thirty
two infected premises including nine distinctions on
account of scarlatna, eleven of diphthena, six OF
