POLLUTION OF TIE SACRAMENTO.
The State Board Of Health Declares
Against II.
Letter From the Health officer of
Colusa-Other Business by
the Board,

The State Board Of Health met in Secre-
tary j. X. Laine's Office last evening in
regular quarterly eession. There were.
present DIR. c. a. Ruggles of Stock ton,
DR.. w. +. Wizard of this city, DIR. G. W.
Nutting of Etna Mills. Siskiyou County.
DIR. Winslow Anderson of San Francisco,
and DR.. j. II. Laine, the Secretary. Or.
Anderson, the Vice President, presided.
The first question brought up was the
contract for the construction of spur
track and water-pipe line to and through
the site for the quarantine station at
Cabazon Station, San Bernardino county,
from the Southern Pacific Compaa,y's
siding at that place. The total cost for
the projected work, as stated in the CON
tract, would be $500. The doctors
thought that the contract should state
more explicitly that pipe line would be
laid from the siding to the quarantine
station site. Tie Secretary was in
structed to attend to the matter.
On motion of DR.. Wizard DR.. Laine was
appointed committee of one to hay the
contract rewritten and changes in it prop
erly Incorporated.
