A communication was received from
residents in the vicinity Of the American
River schoolhouse complaining that
parties are hauling swill out and dump
ing it on the ground, causing fearful

removed by the parties.

The report of County Veterinarian
Fox was read, stating that he had tested
during the month 151 cows for tuber-
rulosis and failed to find any affected.

in good condition, visited five slaughter
houses and examined about 300 beef
cattle, 800 sheep and about 200 hogs.
Health Officer NJ. D. Coon submitted
a report for the month, stating that
everything was in good order in his dis
trict, except that parties on the J-street
road keep swine ranches about a mile
from the city limits. He had ordered
the places cleaned several times, and the
owners have done the best they can,
but there is still complaint. The real
trouble arises from the garbage, which
is bound to smell.
His idea was that such places should
not be allowed where it is so thickly
settled. The residents in the locality tell
him that they have to keep their doors
and windows closed all the while on ac-
count Of the foul smell. He had thought
hest to lay the matter before the board

what it thought best to be done.
