THE CITY'S HE4LTH.
Chat With the Secretary of the Board
of Health in Regard to Sanitary Matters.

ofHeaith in Regard to Sanitary Matters,
In connection with the present ex-
treme heat and its influence on sanitary
conditions in the city and the general
health Of the community, Secretary of
the Board of Health w G. II. Col
quhoun states that Mondays death
record totaled IL persons, none of whom
succumbed to causes directly attribute
Bile to heat. Most of the deaths were
from natural causes. There are very
few cholera infantum cases compared
with the record of last years July hot
spell.
Secretary Colquhoun reports reia.
uVeiy little complaint in regard to
garbage collection delinquency. There
Is quite some complaint in reference to
cesspools. At this moment Mr.
ColGuhonn is giving great deal of at
tentlon TO this matter. Physicians think
the trouble is caused more by mis-
understanding of the law than by any
intentional disobedience of those re.
tsponsible.
Two additional health officers are
making house to house inspections 1T
present, The law is that when the cess.
pool is filled TO within Is inches of the
ground surface it must be removed,
This it will be seen does not refer 10
any part of the wooden structure of the
building. Citizens are responsible for
any negligence in this regard. In add
ton if there happen to be an alley in
the immediate neighborhood, possibly
influenced by the drainage from the
cesspool, its surface even if it be one or
two feet below the ground surface re-
ferred 70, is to be taken as the legal level
on which the abatement is to be made.
The Board Of Health is very particular
At the present time in regard 10 violation
Of sanitary laws and will require rigid
attention to them from every citizen.
