BOARD OF BEALsB.
An Unusually Busy Session Held Las
Night.

Night.
The Board of Health met In regular ses-
sion, last evening, President Bush in the
chair.
The nuisance in the rear of the property
No. 707 Market street, belonging to Mrs
Thatcher, was two weeks ago ordered to be
abated within 10 day, and as the time had
expired the Board discussed what should be
done, but took no action.
The nuisance from the pig pens in Silver
Brook was reported abated. The complaint
of the condition of Pleasant street was re-
ferred to the Street Commissioner.
President Bush next stated that the little
child who died OF small pox, near Sixth and
Sixth and DUPONT streets. was first buried
in the back yard, but during the week 1t
was taken up and reinterred in the Potter'e
field. The entire cost involved was $50, of
which the Trustees of the Poor had already
paid 81 for coffin, and expressed their will
lingness to pay S. more. AS this was case
of emergency the Board saw proper to allow
$40 for the first interment in the yard, but
would not pay the bill for the removal, as
that had not been ordered. The Board was
unanimous in the opinion that the Trustees
of the Poor should pay the entire bill, as the
burden belongs to the county. The matter
was deferred for ONE week TO allow Dr.
Springer to argue the matter before the
Trustees at their quarterly meeting to-day.
President Bush reported that the Street
Commissioner had secured hose and carriage
with which to flush the cutters which are
covered with iron plates The secretary was
ordered to notify the B. & o. Railroad Com
pany to abate the nuisance on the lot at the
eastern end OF Third street bridge, adjacent
to the property of the Kennebec Ice and
Coal Company.

one, did not intend to be thus considered.
The Street Commissioner was notified to see
tina the wells are constructed in accordance
with the ordinance On a question con-
Ger ming the collection or garbage the Board
decided that the garbage collector is not re-
quired to collect the refuse from market
houses and dealers.
