Respectfully, L. NJ. POWERS. NJ. D..
Health Officer.
The report was discussed by section
and was, on motion, referred to the
board Of education.
The sanitary condition of the city hall
was then mentioned and DIR. Powers
stated that he had examined into the
matter. He had found that the pres
ence of offensive sewer gas in the build
ing was due to defective plumbing and
recommended that the plumbing be thor
oughly inspected and the necessary re-
pairs made. This report was adopted
and the action of the board was ordered
transmitted to the city council.
Health Office Powers reported that he
had repeatedly notified Mr.. Bigelow, the
owner of buildings at 74O East Jackson
street. GIG and GA Lazard street, and 708
and 712 Turner street, to make the prop
er sewer connections at those places. He
had been informed that the owner of the
buildings was out Of the city and that
w. Burke, the agent for them, had no
to order the connections made.
1t was, therefore. impossible to proceed
against the owner in the criminal courts,
but DR.. Powers had discovered law
giving him authority to post notices on
the buildings warning tenants that the
buildings were in an unsanitary condi-
tion. This he Is inclined to do and asked
Instructions from the board of health.
He was directed to notify the agent that
after reasonable time he would post
such notices and request the agent to so
notify the owner of the property. Ten
days will be given for such notification.
In the matter of the proposed amend
ment Of the ordinance regulating the
herding of cattle in the city. the board
that the council leave
matters as they are at present and aban-
don proceedings looking to the amend
ment of the ordinance.
The application Of H. A. Keifer. F. L.
O'Neil and Mrs. Sarah Loehmann for H.
,enses to practice medicine were APP
proved and the licenses were .ordered
to be issued. The board then adjourned.
