and instructed to pass on the sanitary
condition of the market and make re-
commentators for it's improvement.
Its report was not acted on, the pres

building Inspector, C. Charlock, chief
inspector of the board of health. With
them Supervisor Wolter, chairman OF
the committee on health, acted.
The committees report was finally
drafted and signed July Z. but at the
request Of Attorney Chillingworth it
| was not submitted He asked that he
be given an opportunity to see the
report and confer with the members
of the committee before it was pre-.
scented to the two boards. At the
meeting yesterday afternoon he APP
+, peared and agreed to the recommend
atoms of the report.
He stated this morning that though
/ be could not assure the committee
| that his clients would make the
lchanges directed, he would advise
i
reasonably sure that they would. In
the event the report is adopted, they
will be obliged to, or, in default, lose
I their right to do business there.
One of the severest blows the Chi
nese will receive will be in the matter
Of selling live poultry. A number of
them say that the sale of chickens
constitutes the largest part of their
business. They will be, by the report,
prohibited from either keeping the
4 fowls in the market or adjacent to 1t.
I The following is summary of the
recommendations made by the com
!, mittee:
The preparation of fish cakes, from
fresh or iced fish, being conducted
over an open sewer drain and within
nine feet of the public urinal and
toilets.
4 Following are the alterations and
changes that we suggest should be
made:
i /. Divide or arrange the markets
so as to segregate the various wares
offered for sale-one wherein only
fish may be sold; one wherein only
meats and dry fish may be sold; and
one wherein only vegetables and
fruits may be sold. ITO make this
step feasible. it is suggested that a
detailed plan of such rearrange-
ments be submitted to this commit
tee for approval.)
i 2. Prohibit the manufacture or
sale of fish cakes, confectionery, lau-
llaus, and like food-stuffs in the mar
kets and remove all restaurants, ice
lcream parlors, "Lemo" stands and
places of like character therefrom.
i 8. Abolish all insanitary wooden
|appurtenances, such as ice-boxes,
tubs, gratings, counter standards, etc,
and install in place thereof proper
sanitary fixtures of some suitable i'm
Ipervious material.
A. Tear out the makai end of the
markets to allow, of a free circulation
Iof air.
/ s. Abolish all leantos or bqilt-in
lareas. I
| 6. Protect wares from dust, dirt
land from contact of and contamina.
ton by flies and other insects, and
from promiscuous handling.
(For this purpose overheard fans
of sufficient number and size are
recommended; also, that glass fronts
be provided for the counters sufi.
ciently high to prevent the handling
Iof exposed wares by the public.)
j T. While the installation of proper
land adequate sewer facilities for the
disposal of the market wastes would
be ideal, 1t is felt by the committee,
that for obvious reasons, the present
drain system be allowed to remain
but that the same be remodeled and
sanitary fixtures, consisting of slop
hoppers, sinks, ETC., be installed with
an approved flushing device.
s. The, keeping of live fowl at the
markets should be prohibited.
3. The floor area of the aisles
shouIo be kept clear for the purpose
for which it was originally intended
stall keepers should not be allowed
to utilize this space for exhibition OF
sale purposes.
II TO- The present office" of the fish
INSPECTOR should be moved to loca

or would be readily accessible to any
person desiring his presence. The
more public the location the better
As Il ct present exists. and is con
structed, this "office" is a menace to
THE market.
II 1.-THE present toilet facilities
should be condemned and abolished
and an adequate and sanitary system
Installed in place thereof.
