The report of DR.. Metz, the city chem
list, on the condition of the Italian quar-
ter moved the board to prompt accept
ance of the efficiency of the marine hos
pital as a refuge. DR.. Metz found as
many as 60 people huddled together in
the Italian quarter, living in squalor and
filth.
Miss Grafiiato was taken from this
quarter, and the board realized that I'M
til something was done the block in
which the woman lived was likely to be-

decided to guard and fumigate the entire

given quarters in one of the new school
houses in the vicinity, and the marine
hospital buildings will be permanently
used as a refuge until after the fever is
stamped out, for the families of the ItaI-
ian quarter and those of the INDECENT
sick throughout the city.
New Hospital for Patients.
House Surgeon Bloom had a conference
with President Oliphant relative to estab
fishing a place to which INDECENT yellow
fever patients might be removed. There
are usually seven or eight hundred pa
tients i'll the charity hospital, and it is
considered highly dangerous to receive
yellow fever patients in that institution.
1t is said that the hospital is ready to e
to any expense to provide a supplement
tary hospital, The board submitted an
offer of the free use of the old smallpox
detention camp, which is entirely discon-
nected from the smallpox hospital, and
it seems likely that the offer will be ac-
cepted, and all yellow fever patients, who
for various reasons can not be treated
will be sent to DR.. Boards place.
There are now two patients suffering
with yellow fever in the charity hospital
and their presence, although they occupy
isolated apartments, is deemed a serious
menace to other patients.

At a largely attended meeting of bank
CT the labor organizations, it
was decided to ask the board of health
to consider the advisability of adopting
next Tuesday as a general cleaning day
