BOARD or HEALTH MEETS

OWNERS OF HOGS GIVEN ONE
WEEK IN WHICH TO GET RID OF
THEM.
The Board of Health held its regu-
lar monthly meeting last night and ac-
tion was taken in the matter of the
hog-pen nuisance which has been agi-
tating the minds of many persons in
the city for a week past.
The secretary of the board was in
structed to give owners Of such places
one weeks notice in which to get rid
OF the hogs or move them to the rural
districts.
The ordinance under which the board
ic acting was passed by City Council
on June "a, 1875. AT that time George
Gray, now United States senator, was
president of Council end George A.
Maxwell was clerk. T'L9 board also
claims to be acting under the laws gov
erning the State Board OF Health. The
board is also making arrangements to
have the State Board Of Health fur
nish anti-toxine for the treatment OF
INDECENT diphtheria cases, as there are
no city funds available for this pur-
pose.
The board has notified property own
ers throughout the city wherever nui-
sances exist, to abate the same at an
early date In case Of refusal to do so
it will be proceeded against according
to law.
