greatly enjoyed.
Report of the State Board of Health.
| The following is the report of the
J State Board of Health, concerning
their recent visit to this village:
To THE TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF
HYDE PARK,
| Gentlemen 1t gave us great pleas.
, ure on our recent visit to your lovely
, and evidently progressive village, tc
find its hygienic condition so good. We
would congratulate your citizens upon
three things;
Ist Upon their decision to build al
once a system of sewers, thus doing
away with the only apparent causes de
1eterious to public health namely, the
open drains and cess-pools.
2nd. That they have board of Trus
tees who appreciate the necessity of thi!
work, and, apparently, are anxious t
carry out the work in a thorough man
ner.
grid. That you have an earnest, zeal
Gus and efficient Health Officer, who's,
work in the past has been of such {
, character as to indicate in the future ht
/ can be depended upon for work tina
= will prove for the best interests of thu
a village.
In regard to what authority the Health
Officer has under Section 1878 withou
authority from the other members O
the local board, we can only say that a
a rule it would seem that he can only
: act under their authority. At the sam,
} time it is the duty of the members o
3 the local board to act with him when
I ever and wherever he has reason t.
suspect anything exists which may b.
, detrimental to the public health" Thi
question is to be fully discussed at tn
= meeting of Health Officers next week
by able legal gentlemen, and we would
refer you to their opinion.
r We would most earnestly recommend
L that during the time that must elaps
= before the sewers are completed, tina
Q great care be taken with the opel
s bitches and places where sewerage
deposited, to disinfect them and proven
their becoming nuisances and foci O
disease; especially the one opposit
Col. Sawyer's, which is likely to over
flow in case of a shower, and contami
nate the large spring in his yard, iron
8 which we are informed large humble
{. of persons get water.
= All of which is respectfully submitte,
d. Not - 4
