THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
Sanitary Inspector Moses Makes Several
 Complaints to the Board of Health.

Complaints to the Board of Health.
 The board of health held a brief but very important meeting at 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon. After the monthly bills, amounting to s453 65, were approved. Health Officer Robbins brought up the matter re- latinp to the nuisance on Grand street in the rear of the property of F. B. Rice and the American Printing Go. The matter was discussed at a previous meeting and the parties were notified to abate the nui- sancs. Mir Frisbie asked if there was no way of keeping them clean.
 Dr Robbins said he did not suppose that any attempt had been made to do anything of the kind. The neighbors had been com plaining of the place right along. A com plaint had been received at noon. ard to verify the statement of the health officer Inspector Moses produced a copy of the complaint. It was voted to condemn the closets as a common nuisance and order them removed.
 Inspector Moses was authorized to have printed one thousand copies of notices for the use of the sanitary inspectors office.
 The inspector also brought up some- thing the DEMOCRAT has been rappipg at for yesrs. He said the residents of Wash ington n avenue and adjoining streets had repeatedly complained of the nuisance | caused by the smoke from burning refuse in the yard of Holmes, Booth & Haydens. He called over there the other evening, one of the hottest nights this summer. and found the doors and windows of the diff ferent houses closed. the people preferring the intense heat to the blind ing. suffocating smoke that moved in one dark column out of the factory yard and pressed against the buildings. You could write your name with your finger on the windows and sides of the houses," he said. He notified MT Adams of Holmes. Booth X Haydens, who informed him that he would try and not light the debris when the wind is blowing in the direction of the houses, but said he did not think the com- pany could be compelled to discontinue lighting the fire in the yard. Mir Moses said when one of those piles of dirt is set on fire it burns for quite n long time and while the wind might not be blowing in the direction or the houses at the time oi starting the fire it was cpt to change Tn ar hour or so. and then the people had tc take to the houses and close up every pos sible ingress.
 Mir Frisbie said: ..I understood all tha work was done away with years ago. f used to burn sawdust and rubbish in tn, , yard myself, but stopped it when people . complained that it was a nuisance. Tn,
 proper way to dispose of this is to burn i
 in n mufiie. I did not think any of tn
 factories was using that way to dispose O sawdust and rubbish at this time." I Mayor Kilduff said: ''ft seems to me tn
 officers of the concern ought to take som a notice of the order of the sanitary inspeC a tor. We cannot afford to have peopl | suffer in this manner no matter whence tn e source." The mayor drew up the follow a ing resolution which was passed: l. Whereas. many complaints havin d been made to this board by the people r, a siding in the vicinity of Holmes, Booth
 Haydens' factories on Washington avenu

 burning of refuse in said company's yard.
 '.Voted, that the city clerk be requeste to notify Holmes. Booth X Haydens to d
 sist from the further burning of the sai " refuse"
 The clerk was instructed to notify th 1T company of the action of the meeting. ie As the meeting was about to adjourn th u mayor suggeeted that it would be a goo 'o idea to have the sanitary inspector subm ID a monthly report of the number of COT IA plaints sent into his office. the place re visited, the sanitary condition. of differe C. places. etc. 'It would be of interest h the board" he said.
