A member of the board of health said to-
day that he hoped the meeting to be held
this afternoon would take some steps
| towards the WORK of fitting up a proper
place for people afflicted with contagious
diseases. He hoped, too, that the place
would be designated by some other name
| than a pest house. This name, he said
adds additional horrors to the place and
many look upon it as an ante-room of the
| grave.
The people around the center must be
of the opinion that the ordinance relating
to the matter of throwing the sweepings of
| their stores in the cutters was not in
teaded to restrict them. A glance at the
street between Grand street and Exchange
place this afternoon revealed more flying
debris of every kind than has been seen on
public street for some time, causing con-
siderable worry to drivers of vehicles.
Many horses were scared by the flying
papers.
