TARY CONDITION..

At the instigation Of members of
the county board of charities and cor
rections. County Health Officer J. e.
King visited the county infirmary this
morning and made a complete inves-
tigation of the women's department.
DIR. King, upon his return to the city
announced that while he had not Of
ficially declared he would condemn
the building, but that he undoubtedly
would do So
He will bring the matter before the
county commissioners TT the board
meeting next Monday. 1t is probable
that at this time he viii also have
compiled his evidence and verdict on
the condemnation procedure. In ev-
emit the ward is condemned, the COM
missioners will have to comply i'm
mediately with the health Officers
orders, and vacate the building and
erect another structure, more suit
able.
Cause Of the Action.
The cause for the probable con-
demnation is that DR.. King found
things very unsanitary. An example
OF how this effects the patients
health was given by him. He stated
that at dinner today. but three OF thir-
teen women inmates were able to
leave their beds and 60 to the dining
room. The odors, always present In
the quarters and in the dining room
and kitchen. which are In the same
building, are very obnoxious.
The county commissioners are hav.
/, ing a set of plans for the women'a
quarters drawn up and these will
probably be presented to the board
Monday. The commissioners realize
that some action must be taken ia
improve conditions at the poor farm
although as vet none OF the members
seem to know what will be done.
DR.. King stated that in case the
quarters were condemned. the patients
