S'NNSiiS dShillS 10 De renewed from DiliS
for cleaning sink on lot No. 10, Browns

The committee on public health to
which was referred the petition of NJ. II.
Kay relative TO charges for cleaning privy
! vault, begs to report that upon investi-
| cation we find the vault of w H. Ray
was reported by Sanitary Inspector Alex
] ander from the health officers office on
Jan. 70, 1896, it was reported to the con-
| tractor on Jan. q, and was cleaned on
| Jan. %, 1896. BY reference to the ASSESS
ment book find that the name of NJ. II.
| Ray has been scratched, and that of
| Mosiana Milledge substituted as the own
| er of the property. When this charge was
made 1t Is impossible for me to state. The
probabilities are though that at the time
| the vault was cleaned the property stood
| in the name of M. II. Ray, and has since
| been sold or transferred to Mosiana Mil
| ledge, who will accordingly be billed for
| the work. W. w. Owens
Chairman Committee on Public Health
| Report adopted.
| The committee on public health to
| which was referred the petition of Caro-
/
bill for cleaning privy vault find that the
vault of Carolina Law was reported to
the contractor on April Is, 1885, was clean
ed on April II, 1895, and she
was served with bill from the treasurers
office on April 16, 1896. The inspector re-
| ports that after the vault was cleaned
the owner had 1t moved and another
vault dug. 1t is probable that the new
vault has never been cleaned, and that
| she has it in mind in her petition. We,
| therefore, report adversely to the prayer
| of petitioner. w. w. Owens,
| Chairman Committee on Public Health.
| Report adopted.
