Board of Health Appeals from Decision
of Health Officer.

A special meeting of the board OF
health was held last evening TO protest
against the decision of Health Officer Dr.
William Lindsay in refusing to grant
permission to George Peck to build a
lavatory closet in the basement of the
Barrows & Peek building, for the use OF
the employees OF the A. H. Temple Co
and George o. Boyles, who are soon to
occupy the street floor. DR.. Lindsay re-
fused permission because he alleged ii
to be against the law to build layatory
in the basement of any building, there
being no way to admit light and venti-
lation. Mr.. Temple asserted it was a
question of having it there or not at
all, and after talking the matter over
a committee OF three was appointed to
and report before spec II
meeting OF the council. Licenses to sell
milk were granted to 20 applicants and
the receipts, S52, were turned over to
Or. Lindsay as compensation for his
inspection of diaries and barns.
