Gentlemen: ] have to announce
10 you that since our meeting fix
ing the salaries Of this office and
It's assistants, the City Council has
refused to pay these salaries, and
offered instead the usual 5000 per
month check, which was declined,
as felt that this Board was acting
fully within it's rights under Act
1874 Of 1904, which distinctly says,
chat the Council shall furnish am
pie means fof the maintenance and
operation of sad Boards OF
Health; the word ample being us
I'd specially to indicate that this
Board is not to be hampcruI in any
way for want of funds, and fur
ther. chat the Chairman shall re-
cc,vc such annual salary az the
Board of Health of said Municipali-
~ may fix and pay The same ap-
plies under this act also to the ms
pcctOr.
L very much regret this attitude
Of the Mayor and Council ut the
outset or the reforms which this
Board has Exaggerated.
Anent the salary Of this office
as fixed by the Board, 1 quote from
DR.. Dowling's letter OF May list: ~

salary. / also congratulate you on
the character of the regulations a
dOptcd and the work you are do
ing
wish to report very slow com
pliancc with the dairy ordinance
tStatc and MunicipaD and much i'll
viii manifested by the Dairymen
along these lines. After much trOu-
bic and worry with them | have
decided at their request to allow
them tin the end OF this month to
ho in readiness for final inspection,
and the issuance OF permits to
those who have complied with the
law and instructions from this Of
flee.
The Bread wagons have all been
ordered closed and dust proof and
this order has generally been COM
piled with. The butcher carts have
also been ordered dust proof and
the Inspector instructed to order |
back any butcher cart or bread
wagon aclivcrying bread or meat |
which has not complied with these
Instructions
The bakeries have all been visit
ed and corrections ordered, which,
with few exceptions arc being
complied with. Tn,
OF the bakeries with few
Exceptions and also those OF the
dairics was very primitive unsani-
lary and dirty, and ! find the most
strenuous objections are among
those who needed cleaning up the
most.
The City Market as you know
has been ordered screened and
improved, and the horse
)f Fire Co. No. T removed there
rom; this has been ordered at the
md OF March, and as yet nothing
,as been done. This il embarass-
ng for this office, as We cannot
enforce the market
equations among the small mar
let owners on the outskirts OF the
ity, till the Central Market has
zen corrected. If this work is NOT
ionc promptly | will have to order
he City Market closed.
Regarding the slaughter house
We have not compelled them to 20
a any expense, pending our final
lction on the Central Slaughter
louise proposition.
We have received much literature
nd plans for Central slaughter

my opinion that this slaughter
ouse can easily be made self sus-
aiming without being an extra bur
