HOUSE SEWERAGE RECOMMENDED.
Following communication was re-
ferred to the Committees on Health and
Cleanliness and Sidewalks and Sewers.
At meeting of the Board of Health
Of the City Of Canton, held on the 7th
inst, the undersigned were appointed q
committee to devise some method where
by the hotels, manufacturing. and other
establishments of Canton may be re-
lieVed of their drainage and waste mat.
ters.
Your committee has considered this
subject In q general way, but has not
entered into the details which such a
question would necessarily imply. Nor
DO we consider an extended report nec-
essary, inasmuch as any action by this
committee and by the Board Of Health
can only be cOmmendatOTy Of some gen.
eral plan for the Dlishment of the
purpose expressed. Your committee
therefore begs to submit Its report In
the following terms:
First. There Is, as implied by your
resolution, pressing need of the relief
proposed. This need Is also felt by the
county buildings and by private resi-.
dents, more especially In the thickly
populated parts of the city. 1t is of a
character to affect the public health,
and is liable, at any time, with the in
PRODUCTION of malign and epidemic In
auences, to affect it very disastrously.
SecOnd. While the drainage wastes
remain in the city, in the proximity to
the hotels, factories and homes of the
people, the Board Of Health is pOwerless
to avert the more malignant class of
diseases and dangers that are liable to
affect the general health. The immedi-
ate removal of all organic and putresci-
BILE materials Is of the first importance.
Third. These drainage wastes may
be hauled away in vehicles, or may be
removed beyond the city limits by means
of properly constructed drains and sew
ers. Owing to the imperfect workings
| of the first named method, and to the
enormous expense II would entail II
thoroughly done, we would recommend
the construction of house sewer sys-
tenn fer the accomplishment Of the pur.
! pose named In your resolution.
Fourth. The Board of Health Is NOT
authorized to provide for the removal OF
| substances detrimental to health In the
manner above suggested, Its functions
in the premises are limited to memor.
lsliZtng the City Council In regard tC
the duty, and to the great need there Is
for providing this relief without any
delay as a sanitary necessity.
The Secretary Of the Board of Health
| is hereby directed to give the City COun
: Gil of the city of Canton official notice
OF the adoption Of this report.
