There were 519 plumbing permits is
sued and 1874 milk licenses ranted
The total receipts were s1,316.
The Board OF Health feels said Mr..
Bowman, in his report. that the money
used for the safeguarding of the milk
that is disposed of in our city could
not be used for a better purpose. Sam
pies of milk are collected daily from.
those selling it and taken to our bac-
teriologist, DIR. Charles w. Banks, for
analysis. Milkmen Igenerally have
shown a desire to have us analyze
milk and visit their dairies.
THE Board Of Health proposes t.
install the dairy score card system. Ac-
cording to this method the production
of milk is divided !at9 sections and &
certain value or rating given as a per
feet score for each producer. This
method of rating has advantages. First
BY this means ii is possible to make
comparison between the different
dairies. Second. Defects at any poinf
car be seen at a glance and can bt
easily rectihed. Third. 1t compels tfl'

ment of tuberculosis has arrived al
such a state that in my judgment pro
vision should be made for its care by
the separate counties in properly con
structed hospitals, and would request
that you use your influence to further
this object. The Board of Health is
furnishing culture tubes for all cases
of diphtheria, also free antltoxin for
the poor of the city. and sputum cups
for cases of tuberculosis.
THE manner in which garbage is
placed upon the streets for collection
has arrived at a point where some Legal
action must be taken to have the un-
sanitary conditions abated. The city
ordinance states hat all garbage must
be placed in covered re~ceptacles. House
holders have been notified by printed
cards of such fact, but simply disre-
gard such notice; also the tying up in
bundles of all papers is disregarded,
and papers are blown around the
streets. I would request that the City
Council take stringent measures tc
have this nuisance abated-
1.-THE total number of typhoid fever
cases has been small compared with
our population, in which no common
cause could be found of contracting

cided upon by the board.
