PROTECTION OF HEALTH
Regulation to Govern Laundries, Wash
women and Barber Shops.
The Matter Now Being Considered by
Health Officer Woodward
Probable Provisions.

At the suggestion of the District Com
m.ssioners, DR.. VIM. c. Woodward, District
health officer. is considering the advisa-
bility of amendment to the police reg
ulations having for it's object the better
protection of the health of those who pa
tronize laundries and washwomen Com
plant was recently made to the Commits
sioners by a citizen against washwoman
who, it was declared, was doing work for
several customers while afflicted with Sc
rious and contagious disease. 1t has also
been suggested to the Commissioners that
the public BARRIERS Of the District be re-
quired to sterilize their razors, towels, etc.
it having been reported that a number of
persons have contracted disease by patron
izing certain barber shops.
The Commissioners are authorized and
empowered by an act Of Congress. ap-
proved February %, 1892, to make and en-
ulations they may deem necessary for
the protection Of the lives, limbs, health.
comfort and quiet of all persons. and for
the protection of all property within the
District. Their authority and power being
ample in the premises, the Commissioners
have requested the health officer to care
fully consider the question of prohibiting
the washing of clothes for the public by
any person afflicted with contagious or
infectious disease, as well as forbidding the
use of any implements by public BARRIERS
until they have first been sterlized or 9TH
erwise prevented from conveying disease.
Reputable Firms Indorse 1t.
1t is stated that all reputable laundries
are conducted with great care and every
precaution taken by their proprietors to
employ none but healthy persons. and it is
also stated that majority of the public
BARRIERS Of the District favor such regu-
lation as will insure absolute safety and
cleanliness to their customers. Therefore
it Is believed that the amendment sug-
gested to the Commissioners will be hear
tiy favored by the proprietors of such
laundries and barber shops.
Just what form the proposed regulation
will take Is not, of course, known, but it is
believed that DR.. Woodward will recon-
mend that such measure be adopted by
the Commissioners and such penalty be
attached to it will secure by enforce
ment the better protection and safety of
the public against disease. 1t is probable
that the regulation, if adopted by the Com
missioners. will prohibit any laundryman
or washwoman from taking or doing work
while suffering from any contagious or in
fections disease. or while any employee en-
gagged In work. or any member of the fam
lily. is afflicted. and that it will require all
proprietors Of public barber shops to ster-
iliZe their razors and towels, and at the
same time prohibit their employment of
any person afflicted with contagious or
infectious disease.
