THE BOARD or HEALTH.
Numerous Recommendation Are Made in
the Annual Report.

The annual report OF the Board Of
issued by DR. w. T. OppenSimer, presi-
dent OF the Board. The report calls espe-
cial attention to the necessity OF keeping
the ci:y clean and strictly enforcing the
sanitary rules and regulations II men
lions the need Of a fourth sanitary po-
licem an. who hos recently been appointed
in accordance with the dividing OF the
city in four sanitary districts.
The report comments upon the remarka-
bic growth OF Richmond. as shown by
the fact that every available place Is
being covered by residences and business
houses.
II urges that an inspector OF plumbing
be appointed at once, an ordinance 10
that effect being now before the Council.
The duty Of the inspector will be TO see
that all pipes and culve-ts are in good
condition, as any imperfections in these
are productive Of disease. An ordinance
is proposed. creating an inspector OF
meat and milk, as germs Of disease can
be imported TO the population more easily
by the use Of infected meat and milk
than in any other way.
The erection of hospital for the use OF
contagious diteases. such as smallpox or
| cholera, is strongly recommended. The
/ report COmmendS the BOOu Wofh uone

The number Of deaths for the year was
| 2,110, OF which 1000 were white and 1,lO4
colored-a decrease Of ll3 from contagious
diseases. A large map accompanies the
report, showing the locality Of these
diseases. which can be prevented. The
idea is that by locating these diseases
each year local causes may be discovered
and corrected. The report closes by sug-
! costing the consideration OF a city hos

butchers, and some means to purify
