the Board, some sections, given below, TO be
added 10 the health ordinances Of the city,
They had met the approval Of 2 previous
Bosrd, but we're never acted on BY the City
Trustees. The object intended to be effected
is an important one, 10 q sanitary point Of
view, and though their adoption and enforce
msnt at this late day would not effectualy
remove some OF the evils now existing, and
which have been long accommodating IN the
thickly settled portions Of the city, they will
prevent the perpstu2tiou in newer portions
OF the city. After q general discussion of
the provisions OF the sections, as well as OF
the Importance Of more perfect ventilation
OF vaults and osher receptacles OF filth, the
Secretary was directed to present the amend
ments TO the ordinances to the Board Of
Trustees for their concurrence l. Il shall

the first day Of August, 1888, to erect any
prlyy, or excavate any privy, vault or cess

ievee and X street. unless the said vault or
cesspeol shall be properly cemented and rem
dered water tight. 2. From and after the
passage of this ordinance i shall be unlawful

nit from the President Of the Board e

INSPECTION OF ORCHARDS. On Saturday
DR.. Chspin, inspector of Insect Pests, made
an inspection Of the orchards lying along the
Sacramento river, in the vicinity Of Free.
port and Courbland. No scale was found, ex-
cept in one orchard, and there il has been
nearly overcome by vigorous application Of
the concentrated lye-WRsh and other efforts.
I5 was introduced into this orchard with trees
brought from San jose i few of the scale
had been found sometime since il another
orchard, but The trees upon which IL made It's
appearance-which vas also stock from San
Jose-had all been uprooted and burned as
soon SIS the scale was discovered upon them.
and none have since been found upon
the premises. The codling moth was
found IN al orchsrds, but in one
or two the efforts to ex'errniaate them
has been 80 successful that hardly any il
tested fruit conld be ssen upon the trees
The remedies used Were banding the trees
ano killing tbs worms that gather under the
bands: collecting the fruit from the ground
which falls from worm effects, and, together
with picking such as is found upon the trees
which show the worms presence, and feeding
tha same 10 hogs to destroy them. The pear
slug was f0und 10 considerable numbers at sll
points, bu. no great damage was seen result
ing from them. They are quite generally
kept subdued in that section, IS the orchard
lists have found they can do so by throwing
dry earth or duet through the taps Of the
trees. The fruit yield along the river Is
about the average, and the orchards just now
present lively scenes of fruit pickers.
