DISCUSSION ON SANITARY IA4IBRS
Work Of the Board of Health During
the Past Month.
The Garbagc-Dumping Question to be
Considered in Joint Meeting With
the Trustees Saturday Night.

The regular monthly meeting of the
City Board of Health was held last even
ing, those present being Drs. Waggoner,
huntington, Glow and Fowler (Secre-
tary and Health Oficer).
The report of DR.. Fowler as Health
Officer shows that during the month Of
Novemb Der 3S deaths occurred in this city,
as against SO for the corresponding month
in 1898. There were % births reported,
IL males and and II females.
The number of contagious diseases re-
ported was l6. OF these were from
typhoid fever, from scarlet fever and
= from consumption. Annual death
rate for the month, 1920 in 1000.
The report of V. j. Tolley, Plumbing
Inspector. showed that a large number
the Objectionable plumbing at 22l9 Ninth
street had been changed by S. j. Jack
son.
Sanitary Inspector G. w. Herr re-
ported large number of inspections
and the abatement OF many nuisances.
The bonds OF j. II. Campbell, cesspool
cleaner, and +. G. and II. a. Stober,
plumbers. were filed and accepted.
City Physician Fowler reported that
eleven patients were treated at the Re-
ceiving Hospital and ten outside.
Assistant City Physician Ogden re-
ported having treated 2Sf new patients
and 2l0 old ones. At the Dspensary 465
persons were treated, eighteen outside
the Dispensary and twenty-one in the
County Jail. Nine permits for the
removal of bodies were issued.
DR.. Waggoner brought up the matter of
the selection of the Muir lots in the
southwestern portion of the city as
garbage dumping ground. he said that
several members of the City Trustees
had treated the matter with contemp ut
and ridicule. 1t was all important mat
ter and deserved the respectful considera-
ton OF that BODY. He moved that COM
mittee be appointed to call upon the CITY
Trustees and explain the necessity for
dumping ground, instead of having
garbage thrown along China Slough and
other places.
DR.. Huntington said that if other per-
sons would agree to do as Muir had
that IS, to have the garbage dumped on
their ground under promise of covering
IL with fresh earth, he saw no reason Tor
discriminating in favor of Muir. But as
it did not appear that others wanted it.
he favored giving Muir the contract to
receive and care for it.
The motion prevailed and the Chair
named Drs. Waggoner, Huntington and
Glow as the committee to wait on the
| Trustees.
President Lawton of the Board of
Trustees suggested that it might be well
to have that body and tile Board OF Health
hold joint meeting to consider the garb-
age question, and this was favorabiy re-
ceived. 1t was finally decided 10 hold the
meeting on Saturday evening next at s
O'clock.
DIR. Fowler offered resolution requir-
ing ali nurses and midwives 10 register
with the Board of Health their places of
residence, also to give prompt notice of
any changes Of residences. He thought a
rule or this kind would give the Board of
Health some jurisdiction over midwives
and nurses, and would enable physicians
to know where to procure nurses on
short notice.
The board then adjourned.

CHARLES E. JOTCE'S FATAL DIVE.
He Leaped Into the River and Was
Seen No More.
The Result of q Reckless Banter With
Guy Maydwell-The Latter
SWAMI Ashore.

An unfortunate affair occurred last
evening. resulting in the death of young
man named Charles Edward Joyce, res
dent of the town of Washington, across
the river.
Joyce was professional hunter and
fisherman, but a very companionable
young fellow, whose chief failing appears
to have been an inclination to over-in-
dulge in strong drink. He made sale
OF some game yesterday and proceeded TO
'blow III" the proceeds, as usual.
In the afternoon he came over to this
city and called at the law Office of Guy T..
Maydweu. The young men had met
during summer outing at Donner Lake.
ana were on quite friendly terms. Joyce
induced Maydwell to accompany him 10
Washington, and when they started to
come back, about 6:30 o'clock in the even
ing, both were in a slightly exhilarated
mood.
The young men stopped when near the
center OF the bridge spanning the river,
and in a spirit OF tun each dared the
other to jump into the water. y man
named George Loder, who was near by,
heard one ask, well, is it go?"
The other replied YES" and with
that they mounted the railing. May
dwell was the first to make the dive. lie
went down head-hrst and coming TO the
surface struck out for the shore.
Joyce followed a few seconds later.
Some men at the Yolo end of the bridge
saw the men drop into the river, and
started TO man some boats near by to go
TO their rescue.
In the meantime Maydwell had swan
to the shore, where George Mathena met
and assisted him out of the water. lie
was nearly exhausted and had come
near drowning, having been seized with
a cramp while in the cold water.
Joyce was seen no more after he struck
the water. Tom Irwin, Miles johnson
and Tom Soule, experienced boatmen,
searched for him up and down tie river,
but in vain. The supposition is that in
jumping he struck one Of the several sub
merged piles in that vicinity and was
killed. lie was an expert swimmer, and
had he not been injured would certainly
have been able To reach the bank without
any trouble.
Maydwell was taken to Hansom's Ho-
tel III Washington, and after being pro-
vlded with dry clothing he returned to
his home on this side of the river. lie
could not believe that anything had hap
pened to Joyce, and said he was certain
lie would turn up all right, as he was a
good swimmer.
Joyce had no relatives here, their home
being at Elmira. \. y, from which place
he came TO this State. He had a great
many friends along the river.
