To Increase Boards Power.

It is proposed to amend the law In re-
iation TO tuberculosis by giving the health
board general charge of tuberculosis
sanitariums, The board has established
regulations which the manag gements of
hospitals must enforce The amendments
are more specific than the existing laws
as 10 the exact precautions that should
be taken against Contagion and infection.
The board would make certain require
ments that are now only regulations
OF the health authorities mandatory by
law, II would have the Legislature
provide a penalty for violating regula-
tons regarding the most approved meth
ods of disposing OF sputum from a tuber-
ises from which such patients are re-
moved Will be dIsinfected and other pre-
cautions taken.
The board desires greater power In
protecting the water supplies from pollu-
ton. The proposed act ON this subject
gives the health authorities general
charge OF the streams and lakes. They
will make rules and regulat tions which
must be enforced. The bill imposes a
penalty OF 500 a day for dlsobeying the
boards orders.
Four years ago the legislature passed a
law prohibiting persons suffering with
certain specified diseases to marry and
| making such Il marriage null and void.
Utah was the second slate in the Union
TO adopt this measure. the first being
| Indiana, II Is also against the law for
the feeble minded. epileptics and first
cousins TO wed. The health board would
strengthen this legislation,
