OF ladies on sanitary housekeeping one of the
duties imposed upon this committee being that
OF arranging for carrying on instruction by .

Reports were made by several Of the chair
men Of the district sanitary committees in

snces made in the name Of the league on sani-
tary mattera
Another new bylaw also made IL Q require
ment that persons representing the league or

resolution was adopted requesting DIR.
Billings 10 deliver At such . time ss may be
convenient for him an address, setting forth

conditions existing In Washington.
TIE WORK TO Be DONE.
DR.. Billings made an informal statement re
spectirg the sanitary work 10 be undertaken BY
the league. He said he had been informed by
the health office Of the city that the ave health
inspectors, who had been engaged in making .
house TO house inspection since the LIST OF Feb
ru.ry, had finished forty-siI blocks They
had no blank forms and confined their work
mainly to looking mp such nuissnces ss
would ordinarily be reported % the health
Office for official action. When the inspector
found nothing that came under the head Of
nuisances he made no report. II il were in
tended that the work Of inspection under
taken by the league should be merely
tor temporary purposes, for instance,
having in view merely the possible
coming Of cholera this summer, such in
sPecton a. that now in progress under
the direction Of the health Office might be sun
Client, but II II were proposed that the inspec-
uon should have . permanent value, II was
desirable to have the data prepared in such a
manner ~ to be available for reference next
year or at any future time.
For such purpose blanks should be prepared
FOR each house on which the inspector would
note the condition Of the yard, the plumbing
and all other matter relating to the sanitary
surroundings Of the house These blanks when
filled up would be found most useful for the
committee on statistics. In reply to oues-
tions DR.. Billings said that il was
his idea that such an inspection
should be made by members Of the league who
volunteered their services inspectors. He
thought that there should be at least one in
spector for each block. At present 10 WIS bis
opinion that such an inspection should be made
In all OF the bad parts Of the city or those
parts In the worst condition, from . sanitary
point Of view; he thought it could b.
expedited and might all be completed
80 far n these dangerous localities
we're concerned by the LIST Of May. Reports Of
these inspectors would be returned to the chair
man Of the District sanitary committees, and
each Of these chairmen would be provided
with the regular stubs Of the health Office, on
which they would send returns Of nuisances to
the health department. As q matter
OF fact such an inspector would have
no warrant for entering into private
houses except the good will Of the tenant II
was his idea that inspectors OF this kind would
see and report many things that would not
come under the head OF nuisances, such
milk s<,f thot - s.
gerous condition, but might soon become So
The committee on printing was authorized to
print and circulate copies OF the constitution
and bylaws Of the league and also OF the cir-
cular TO be prepared by the committee on
promotion. On Mr.. Perrys nomination Judge
T. F. Miller was elected to the place in the
council made vacant by the resignation Of MI.
Birney.
