'OIL is USED
To ADVANTAGE
Health Boards Mosquito
Campaign 46l Basins.

Mosquito determination matters oc-
cupied the attention of the board OF
health for some time last night. Tho
receiving basins throughout the city
have now made one complete circuit OF
the city. Oil has been placed in 461
basins, the whole total so far as the
Board of Health can ascertain. Six
ponds have also been oiled and ar
.rangements made for filling in several
breeding places.
A list of sixteen receiving basins
was forwarded to the street depart
ment which require cleaning. Several
ponds, etc., needing attention were
placed in the hands of the mosquito ex-
termination men for attention this
week. Next week they will probably
start on their rounds over the city
treating the receiving basins again.
These basins, 1t is estimated, should
have a treatment of oil every three
weeks to prevent mosquito larvae from
forming.
Depressions were reported on land
controlled by E. F. Fox in Sutton
street, which Mr.. Fox, it is stated, re-
fuses to fill in. There is a similar sit
uation at 551 and $50 West Side ave-
nue.. The board will fill in this land
and assess the cost to the property
owners, under the ruling of the Board
of Aldermen of recent date, to the eff
feet that all mosquito breeding places
must be cleaned up within ten. days OF
the city would Jake the matter in hand.
West Side Avenue Sewer.
The attention of the board was
called to the need of a sewer in West
Side avenue. H~ouseholders, it is stated,
are now draining into open lots in that
section. The matter Will be taken up
again in a future meeting.
A ruling was passed by the board
that excavators and plumbers must get
a permit to open city mains. After
an argument President Kaletsch got
s~eavengers included in this list, but
he did not explain the application Ar
rangements will be made with the
street department to get duplicates OF
all permits issued for the opening Of
city streets. The board Is of the i'm
preston that this will enable them to
keep in better touch with pipe tap
pings, etc. A c%ulvert in Kirkland
place was called to the attention OF
the board as being used for sewage in
stead of water drainage, as 1t was
originally intended.
After Johan Jensen.
Johan Jensen, a contractor, was or
dered s~ubpoenaed before the board at
its next meeting for alleged violation
of the health code. A stoppage in a
private sewer opposite 396-89a State
street, was reported to the board. The
matter was referred to the sanitation
committee for attention.
An unsigned communication was re-
ceived about barking dogs annoying a
certain neighbor. The board an
nounced that it would pay no atten-
ton to unsigned communications. A
copy Of the city ordinance creating the
health board was ordered forwarded
to the New Brunswick health board
upon their request.
Licenses were granted to six plumb
ers, one milk dealer, several BARRIERS,
and two people to keep cows. Mem
bers present at last nights meeting
were, President Kaletsch and Com
missioners Schwartz, Kennedy, Maean
and Wustefeld.
