Health Officer and Press Represent

Disease Breeding Conditions Pre-
alent---Ordered to Clean 10.

The Press, through Health Office
Inspector Bunker, has started a
campaign against the unsanitary
conditions now existing at the NIL
merous Chinese laundries. Few of
their patrons ever see the places
where their clothing Is washed, as
the Cinnamon collect the soiled lin
en- at their homes. They give up
their family wearing apparel and
until it is returned they know not
through what contagious surround
ings 1t has been carried.
1t has long been suspected that
these places are reeking with all
kinds Of germ-breeding filth of
which patrons are ignorant.
After an inspection of a few of
them The Press is satisfied that
this suspicion is based upon fact
and that the cleaning up campaign
has struck them none too soon. The
filth and foul stinches encountered
amazed even Health Officer Bunker.
The first place visited by the
health officer was 521 Second ave-

in one large heap, preparatory to
putting them into the boiler. In one
corner of the floor a hole was cut
which allowed the water to run out
into the sewer. But the sewer was
broken and the slime was running
free under the building. A visit was
then made to the poorly kept Sleep
ing apartments of the Chinese. In
one hole in the wall, as the officer
called it, four Cinnamon, evidently
the night shift, were doubled up
into as many narrow hunks, the
bedding Of which was actually
sticky. In the room where the
washing is done was an evil look

the water drained from the tubs 1t
