The following was received from the
health officer.
To the Hon. Mayor and Common
Council of the City of Kenosha.
Gentlemen-In accordance with the
advice of the Secretary of the State
Board of Health, make the following
recommendations
a. That less water be sprinkled on
Main street and that it BIO cleaned as
often as necessary, as in it's present
soaked condition it is neither clean nor
sanitary.
9. Before the streets and alleys can
be kept as they should be, some provi-
sion must be made for the disposal OF
garbage. The experience of other
places shows that a city garbage col
lector is necessary.
3. I also recommend that an Ordi
nance be passed, causing all privy
vaults hereafter constructed or old ones
repaired, that the same be made water
tight and to extend at least, four feet
below the surface of the ground. Also
that district embracing the business
portion of Main street and intersecting
adjacent streets for one block, where
sewers are constructed, be declared a
portion of the city in which priVy
vaults will not be allowed. The SAM
tary conditions or our clUy cannon De
properly maintained where vaults are
too close to houses. Furthermore,
there is no excuse for their existence,
where there is a sewer and water, ex-
cept human indifference to public
welfare. Respectfully
J. L. CLEARY,
Health Officer.

same was referred to the committee on
