THE HEALTH OFFICERS REPORT

The health officer yesterday reported to
the council as follows:
At meeting of the board OF health
held August T. 1895, the board earnestly
recommended that the city council be
requested to pass the accompanying ordi-
nance, providing the nun ber of employees
in the health Office and fixing their salar-
les.
This ordinance increases the salaries of
four of the inspectors from SEQ per month
to $40 per month, and places the two now
carried on requisitlon from month to
month on the permanent list. The work
OF the inspectors has been the best the
department has ever had, all of them put
ting in long hours and fully entitled to
the increase recommended.
The following resolution was also
passed by the board relative to street
sweeping:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF this
board that the present method Of sti eet
sweeping is menace to public health
The dust arising therefrom carries with
it the germs of infection of many of the
contagious diseases. We respectfully
suggest that the city council take i'm m ed
late steps to abate the same. Referred to
the finance committee.
complaints have been made at the tealth
office regarding the unsanitary condition
of the plumbing and fixtures in the city
hall. Accordingly ! notified the city
clerk, the custodian OF the same, to dis
infect, repair and keep the same in sani-
tary condition if possible, but after re-
peated efforts it has been found impossi-
bic TO do so.
On June 9TH last / addressed letter to
the plumbing inspector, asking him TO
make careful inspection of all the
plumbing and TO report to me; copy OF
which report is hereto attached and made
part hereof.
BY reference to this port you will find
that there are about forty square feet of
unnecessary fouling sur face which is co1-
stantly emitting odors of decomposing
material, which it Is impossible To obvi-
ate. Already the fixtures in the li5rar-
ian's office and the ladies' reading room
have been taken out and the openings
soldered up TO prevent tn escape of sewer
gas. The plumbing is of such con-
struction that it is impossible to render
. it sanitary by repairs. The traps through
out the system are continually siphoning
at various points, thereby making direct
communication with the sewer, permit
ting sewer gas to escape into the various
rooms of the building.
In view of these facts, | would suggest
that the building inspector be instructed
to prepare plans and Specifications for the
remodeling of the whole system at once.
The whole system OF water supply is de-
fective. The pressure on the third floor
is entirely inadequate to the needs of
the same. | suggest that the question OF
proper water supply be considered along
with plumbing, as it will be impossible

Tillie Alice is gone to rest;
She left this word of care
To reach the Eden of the blest,
And dwell forever there
Her merry laugh rings out no more
Upon the morning air,
Her blithesome step has left the floor,
Her form the vacant chair.
In vain we seek for Tillie then,
Our hearts are filled with pain,
Our loss. when by deaths hand she fell,
Was her eternal gain.
Sweet, gentle Tillie, farewell,
Till in the better land
We shall again together dwell,
A loving, happy band.
