| Martin was declared the choice of the Board
| for the remainder of the term to May l,
1882. and the Secretary was instructed TO re.
Quest the Board of City Trustees to elect Mr.
| Martin.
Acting Health Officer G. r. Martin fled
! his report for September, showing that he
| had received II complaints; that there were
abated IS nuisances. There were buried by
the officer horse, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 16 chick
ems, ducks and geese, and calf. lie served
a number of notices requiring vaults and
cesspools to be cleaned Gus at once. lie re-
ported three lots-one at Seventh and 4, one
on | street below Twelfth, ON the north side,
and one on the corner OF the alley east side
| Fourth street, between l. and Mas having
been complained Of as nuisaucss all the
! winter and spring, and that compliments de-
sire some action taken in relation to the same
by the Board while the lois are dry.
DR. Gardner reported concerning the con-
dition of certain lots bordering on emma
Slough. He said the back parts OF some OF
the lots are in fearful condition, and consul
| tute a nuisance that needs abating; but to
fill the lots involves heavy cost, and Il was
doubtful If the owners could be compelled to
fill in. The Chinese, despite the ordinance
forbidding it, drain into the slough, and the
closets and cess-pools are in q fearful eondI-
ton. DIR. Simmons said the trouble was TO
catch the Chinese in the act Of draining into
the slough. The present condition OF the
place is very bad; the city had been hghtlng
the matter for ten years, and was now no
further advanced in abating the nuisance than
then. He thought there ought to be an otdl-
nance to compel dry and unfermentabls garb-
age to be dumped into the alley along the
block Gradually this would shut the Chi
| nese houses in, and leave pools under them
that the owners would have to fill. He said
for some reason the jurisdiction of the Board
was limited to the center of | and the center
Of Sixth streets. some one having influence
enough to cut China Slough out of the iuris-
dicsion of the Board along the line under
debate. The committee on the matter, rep
resented by DR.. Gardiner, was continued.
The Secretary, DIR. Hatch, saio he long
tried to get the statistics of births, but the
doctors, without exception he believed,
failed to report as the law requires There
is heavy penalty for failing to report. 1t is
very important to the city to have the birth
statistics to compare with the death rate, etc.
The midwives, generally, reported accouch-
ments. DIR. Simmons suggested the punish
ment of some doctor as an example. DR..
Gardner said the fine for the first offense is
$50. The penalty applies to heads OF fam
lies as we'll as doctors and midwives. DR..
Hatch moved that the Health Officer be IT,
struGted to call on all physicians and mid
wives and present them with blanks for birth
reports, and request them to report hereafter
promptly.
The Health Officer was directed to have
the nuisances referred to in his report abated ;
also that on the Mesick lot, street, between
Fourth and Fifth.
The Board adjourned until the next regular
meeting.
