Desirable Placards.

Chapter IS OF the Richmond City Code
OF 1880 has been amended SO. as to read
as follows:
40. Whenever a report is made TO the
Office Of the Board OF Health Of the exls-
tence OF smallpox, varioloid, diphtheria,
scarlatina or typhoid fever upon any
promises, IL shall be the duty Of the
president of the Board of Health TO have
a card placed within or without such
premises as no may see fit, and IN a
conspicuous place SO that II may be seen
from the street, stating the name Of the
disease, and with such words OF precau-
;i1u as may he deemed necessary by the
Board Of Health.
1t IS emlncntly proper that house in
which there is a person suffering from a
CONTAGIOUS disease should be placarded,
but we arc at a loss to understand why
a house in which there Is q case OF
typhoid fever should he SO treated. The
n. sIdcnt of the Board OF Health takes
the same view. and the ordinance should
be- sd changed as to exclude typhoid
There is no use In making the regula
