full practitioner in Austria. 1t was filed.
Civil Engineer Frank H. Earle reported
that he had inspected School No. 6, as
directed. He found no water in the cellar
but evidences of some having been there
The drains under the cellar cannot run of
| the water because another drain under
the old building interferes The leaders
on the building do not connect with the
sewer, but instead, the waste water falls
| on the pavements, which are sunken.
Water also leaks in through the sills
The report was filed and the Clerk was
directed to notify the Commissioners OF
Streets and Sewers to have the repairs
made
An effort was made to stop the terrible
stencil which comes from some of the fac.
tories on the west side of the Hackensack
The Board were petitioned to take action
by ex-senator Brinkerhoff and others
DR.. Gordon said he had already directed
Garrett Brothers to close their bone and
fat establishment, and the Board decided 10
keep it closed until satisfied that the
smell comes from some other factory, or
the immense hog abbatoir that has been
rebuilt on the ruins of the old one. Dr.
Converse was inclined to believe the evil
came from this place. Inspector Allen
was directed to investigate the case
Thomas Mulligan sent communication
to the Board some time ago, complaining
of the condition of the sunken lots on
Sixteenth street owned by the Coles
estate. The Board concluded to lay the
matter before the next Grand Jury.
The Inspectors were directed to make a
thorough sanitary inspection of the
county, including schools all places re-
curing licenses, stables and all sunken
lots, besides slaughter houses, &c.
Counsellor Winfield was recently
directed to learn why DR.. Heller, of
Hoboken, failed to report a case of
diphtheria. Heller in a communication
replied that he did, and that Inspector
Saltonstau never visited the house as he
reported.
Counsel said it was a case of veracity,
and that DR.. Heller had omitted to make
return once before. Counsel was di-
rected to enforce the legal penalty. Clerk
Rooney was also directed to notify the
Chief of Police of this city that the Board
has decided to allow no carting of bones,
fat and offal for delivery except between
the hours of nine p. IN. and nine a. m.
The diplomas of T. Elmore and Joseph
M. Finerty were registered and the young
doctors will now be able to practice.
DR.. Gordon has arranged to give Clerk
Rooney an assistant for couple of
months. The county will not be called
on to pay his salary.
