The Board of Health Takes Action-Expec-
torating on the Sidewalks to BE No
Longer Permitted

AS forecasted by the Herald yesterday
the board of health has acceded to the de-
mand of the people responsible for the
agitation, and unless the board of super
visors should turn deaf ear the three
lepers at present confined inside the city
limits may soon be permanently domi-
ciled at the county farm. large delega-
ton of householders residing in the vi
cinity of the county hospital were on
hand to argue in favor of the removal OF
the three afflicted patients, but the visit
of the board of health to the premises on
Tuesday, rendered oratory upon the sub
ject wholly unnecessary. DIR. Steddom
was instructed to communicate with the
supervisors upon the subject. The coun-
ty infirmary being several miles outside
the city limits the difficulty appears TO be
in fair way OF settlement.
The board of health yesterday adopted
the following resolutions: re
Whereas, In view OF the fact that small
pox exists in Nogales, Ariz.. and that
people are radiating i'll all directions from
that point; therefore lie it
Resolved. That this board earnestly
recommends that all persons be vaccina-
ted at the earliest possible moment, as
precautionary measure
The introduction of the resolution crca-
ted some discussion regarding the advisa-
bility of naming the places in Arizona
which are alleged to be infected. 1t was
finally decided to pass the resolution as
the same is printed above.
On motion of DR.. Kurtz it was decided
to request of the council that that body
enact an ordinance making it misde-
meanor for anyone to expectorate upon
the sidewalks of the city. the law to APP
ply also to the entrances and the APP
proaches to the public buildings of the
city.
The subject of the proper sanitary regu-
latiOnS of slaughter houses inside the city
limits created a long discussion which
developed a difference of opinion among
the several members of the board as to
the possible menace to the public health
| in such establishments. The matter came
up on petition Of Mead, Wright & Co. to
be allowed to build inside the city limits.
The matter was finally temporarily dis
posed of by action uponiit being postponed
for period of two weeks.
| Health Officer Steddom was instructed
to enforce what is known as the shoddy
factory ordinance. which prohibits the
! erection of a shodjy mattress factory
within 200 feet of any residence. The
council will also be asked to pass new
ordinance prohibiting entirely the manu-
facture or sale Of any such mattresses in
side of the city limits. This class of
goods is alleged to carry large quantities
OF disease-breeding germs. such as diph-
| iberia and smallpox.
On motion cf DR.. Moore the council
| will be requested to construct branch
sewer ou West Beacon street, from Ninth
to Eleventh.
! The alleged foul smelling oil refinery
| in the Eighth ward was turned over to
the health officer to be further inquired
into. The refinery may be declared a
| public nuisance.
