YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
 The Aim Under the New Law is to Have
 Uniform Health Regulations for the
 state-Consumption Included Among
 Infcctuous Diseases Which Must be

 Discussed.
 A meeting of the state board, of
 health was held at the Garde hotel yes- terday afternoon after the adjournment of the meeting of the association of city and town health officers of the
 Of that association and received sug-
 geations for new health regulations formulated at the forenoon meeting of the association. A law passed by the last legislature provides that after K August 31 no regulations of town or city health officers shall be valid un- less approved by the state board of health and the aim now is to have a uniform set of health regulations Throughout the state. With this idea lFin view set of regulations were drawn up at the meeting of city and town health officers yesterday and submitted {; to the state board for approval.
 A proposed regulation concerning the carrying of garbage of one town into another came in for long discussion. There have heretofore been local regu- Z lations in towns contiguous to Hart ford providing that no garbage should 'be carried from Hartford into or through those towns. That interfered with the business of men who collected garbage in Hartford for feeding hogs and they asked that the regulations be Repealed.
 z The health officers association yester- day drew up a proposed regulation to provide that no garbage should be brought into any town from any other town unless a license to do so was ob- tained from the health officer of the town into which it was desired to take the garbage and then under such re- astrictions as the health officer of that Town should impose. It also provided that violation of the restrictions thus imposed should be ground for revoca- tion of the license.
 number of garbage collectors of New Haven and Hartford appeared be- fore the state board and objected to this on the ground that it would give the health officers too much latitude and permit them to impose prohibitive Restrictions. This proposed regulation was not acted upon by the state board 3fld will be further considered by that body.
 A number of other proposed regula- lions concerning the reporting of con- tagtous land infectious diseases were approved. One of the most important Changes from the regulations of this Kind heret ofore in force was the addi- ton of consumption to the list of in fectious diseases which must be so re- norted.
 mother rule approved was one re- |o 6tl1ifg that every householder shall report cases of infectious or contagious diseases occurring in their houses when pfysicians are not called to attend the patients
 { Another rule approved provides that until permission is received from the health officer no clothing or other property which shall have been ex- posed to infectious or contagious dis eases shall be removed from the house nor shall the occupants of such house change residence without the consent
 
 A rule was also approved which pro- vides that no superintendent of schools, principal, teacher, parent or guardian Sshall permit children suffering from Infectious diseases, including itch, lice and consumption, to attend school.
 Other approved regulations provide that health officers may quarantine houses wherein there are cases of con- fagious or infectious diseases; that piacards may be placed on houses wherein such diseases exist; and that no one shall spit on the floors of pub- lie buildings or trolley cars.
