THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
4 public meeting Of the Board of

at O'Clock, with President Smith in
the chair.
There were present the following:
Ministers King, Hatch and Damon,
Drs. Day, Wood, Emerson, Howard,
Cooper, McGrew, Grossman and
Nichols, Messrs. D. /. Naone, A. W.
Oscar White, J. B. Atherton, George

President Smith said that J. 7.
Crswley had made examination Of the
water at the new pumping plant at
the corner of Beretania and Alapai
streets, and had come to the conclu-
sion that "ou treating the clear water
with sugar and exposing to light there
was perceptible f9ngoid growth and
milky appearance with twenty hours.
There is nothing notable in the
mineral constitution, with the excep-
ton of the rather high content of iron,
alumina and chlorine.
"Ihe amount of free and albuminoid
ammonia, considering the high con-
tent Of chlorine, would make this a
water If it were from q sur
face well, but being from q deep arte-
sian source il leads TO the conclusion
that the organic matter may be from |
a vegetable source aud therefore not
injurious. In view OF the present
epidemic threatening the city can
not too strongly impress the necessity 1
of boiling this water and filtering, |
when possible, before use. DR.. Lyons |
has already pointed out the fact in q
previous report on some OF the city |
waters, that water containing organic 1
matter contains the food upon which |
the germs of pathogenic bacteria feed,
and would furnish q proper culture
for these germs. During
or infectious diseases this
water should be boiled, and never
used after long standing. Even in
ordinary times filtration through a
porous filter would be an advantage,
Inasmuch as much OF the organic
matter would become oxydized into
products during the process
President Smith called for report
Of the committee appointed to search
ior suitable cholera burying ground.
Minister Damon said that George
W. Smith, J. A. McCandless and
himself had gone down on the rail- ]
-oad during the morning in search of
! spot suitable for buryiDg purposes.
Went to various places along the line
of the railroad and took men along
With them TO dig in what might ap-
oear 70 be suitable places. Several
localities were picked out, but in all
,f these it was found that the earth
vas not of sufficient depth. Just this
