" anus llISll Y tHte IatlIlON tti
 The board of health held a meeting yesterday afternoon. Health Officer c. w. &. Frost presiding. Thomas Gallagher of Bishop street was heard regarding a high board fence at the north side of his house. which he claims shuts out air and sunlight from his apartments. render ing the place damp and unhealthy. He has had considerable sickness in his family since the fence was put up and produced a certificate from Dr Castle certifying that much of the sickness at the Gallagher residence during the past year was due to the presence of the fence. It has no earthly use there and is intended but to annoy and worry the GallagherS.
 The matter was referred to Health Officer Frost and Inspector Noses for inspection and report.
 Dr De Liguori complained of the washing out of salGGns in North Itiv- erSide street in such a way that the dirty water runs over the walks and often remains in the gutters until the stencil from it becomes almost unbear- able.
 Commissioners Cross submitted a draft of an ordinance relating to un- necessary noise. which. after several notifications. suggested by Mr Finn. was recommended to the aldermen as follows:
