The Board of Health, at a meeting held
this day. had under consideration the
city dumping grounds, situated at
| Twelfth and north of streets, ana
while they are in fairly good condi-
ton at the present time, the board feels
that any dumping in the city is nui
sance and source of danger. They
are also apprehensive of danger of
pollution of our drinking water when
ever we may have an overflow of high
water from the American River.
Wherefore the board resolved that
your honorable beard be requested at
as early a period as possible to make
provision for the erection of a crema-
| tory for the purpose of consuming all
garbage and refuse by fire which may
be collected from the city Respectfully,
81 L. NICHOLS, Secretary"
