tion 8 page 39l in rslaIl lpn to the tring-

Mr.. Smith asked the Rsgs:rar II he
had been called upon to issuse permit
for such admission. Y
Some time ago was ths reply Int un-
der the instruction Of DR.. Drape' and
others Of the Board the permit was not
issued. 3.lFnF ....
Mr.. Smith stated that there was ,
rumor to the effect that certain parties
were contemplating bringing bodies te
this city from the plagus-infected dis
trict Of the South that had died of yel
low fever. The ordinance provides
that bodies that die under such cir
cumstancss shall net be admitted un
der six months. He didn't think tina
time was long enough. Some physi
cians believed that bodies that.havs dice
Of said infectious disease sholld bs re-
moved only in cold weather and thsl
they should be thoroughly frosen.
Dr.. Draper said that when the Per
mi. Of which the Registrar made men
ton was asked for it was in cold wealth
or; he thought then that . remova
would not be attended with much dan
ger. He said that the danget was ow
ing to circumstances, and to the man
ner of burial; and he thought that tn
Board could not afford to take an.
risks.
President Bailey thought the Boar
should take some action III the mat
ter.
Mr.. Smith moved that the Registra
be instructed TO grant no permits TO
The admission into this city for inter
ment of bodies that have died with in
fictitious diseases until December next
The motion was adopted.
Mr.. Eurke CT the Tenth Ward statet
that he had been complained to Of Ger
tain nuisances existing in Lafayett
street, arising from the carelessness c
those in the employ Of Charles Agness
who are in tho habit of leaving th
barrels used in the removal Of nigh
soil, standing upon the pavements.-
He called upon the committee oi tn
First Ward 10 explain.
Mr.. Glatts in reply said thet
was such nuisance, and it was a
aggregated one. The people living i
the vicinity have no redress, and the
say if it continues they will be conpe
led 20 move. The Board has no juri
diction over the matter and the con
mittee advised them to have the MATE
brought before the Mayor and have
proven q nuisance.
The President instructed the Fir
Ward committee to see that the nui
ance was abated and that in case
Noncompliance to have the ordinan'
enforced.
