Alive to the Gravity of the Situation
The board of health held an important
meeting last night. The full board was
present. The sense of the meeting was to
put forth every effort possible to prevent
the cholera getting foothold in this city.
A communication will be sent to the court
of common council asking an appropria-
ton of $1,000 for fighting contagious dis
eases and epidemics, and the board will
meet every Tuesday evening instead of ev-
cry other Tuesday evening, as has been
the vogue heretofore.
An active plan has been adopted to put
the city in sanitary condition. The fol-
lowing will be sent to-day to the superin-
tendent of police to secure the co-opera-
ton of the police department.:
Voted, That the superintendent Of police be
and is hereby requested to instruct the depart
ment of police to take cognizance Of any unsani,
Of the city and to report the same to the board
OF health in accordance with section 90 OF the
charter Of the city.
In addition to the above the health in
spectors ara directed by the following Or
and order that all garbage, filth or any
thing breeding disease be removed at once
and If the directions of the inspectors are
not complied with at once the health Off
Ger is directed to remove the Objectionable
matter immediately. The object of the
vote is to secure promptly better santa
ton in the city. It was also
| Voted, That the sanitary inspections Of the

| Immediately report to the board of health al
places within their several districts that are ir
| an unsanitary condition, and to give proper
places must be immediately put in sanitary con
| dition.

ded BY the Officers Or inspectors Of the board q
health, the premises shalt be Immediately put il
cost Of The oWners Of occupants Of the premises

| ton counsel.
| MORE INSPECTORS.
The demands for increased and unusua
vigilance on the part Of the health inspec
tors, and the sudden enlargement of thei1
duties, will probably necessitate an increase
In the number of inspectors. At the meet
ing next Monday it seems likely that thre'
more inspectors will be appointed for tn,
month of September. In the meantime
the president is empowered by the follow
ing to appoint inspectors when necessary
to act until the next meeting Of the board
Voted, That the president Of the board be EN-
powered, If in his judgment it becomes neces
| sary, to appoint such extra inspectors as ma.
| be required until the next board meeting.
Recognizing the unhealthfulness of TIA
consumption of diseased or unripe fruit and
spoiled meat or other products, the board
passed the following order:
Voted, that the health officer and Inspector
| be instructed to visit the several markets ant
| places where meats and fruits and other food
are offered for sale, and examine such products
| and if found unwholesome they shall report thu
| facts 70 the health officer, who shall condemn
| and cause such articles to be summoned, If il
his judgment they are dangerous to the publi
| health:
The question came up as to where tn
patient should be kept, If taken with tn
cholera. The disease will not permit o
removal to the hospital for contagious dis
eases. It was decided to have a tent il
readiness, and when case is discovered t,
have the tent set up on a vacant lot ant
the patient removed there.
