THE BOARD OF
: HEALTH FILES
20 SUITS

The report of three cases OF ty-
phoid has caused a survey of the
town to be made by the City Board
of Health. The result of this sur
vey has shown the great need Of It.
There will be seventy prosecutions
brought before the Mayors Court
July 5th, the charge being unsani
tary conditions.
Among other important improve
ments that will result from the ex-
aminations made by Mr.. Schwartz
and other members OF the board
will be the screening of the reset
voir that furnishes the towns sup
ply of water Heretofore this reser-
voir has been open to receive de-
posits from the windswept buildings
surrounding it and should any one
be indecent enough to do so, hands
might be washed in it or water
might be drank from the spout while
it flowed into the tank. In fact, in
it's present unprotected condition
most anything might happen to be-
foul the water. II nothing else re-
suited from the survey, the protect
ing of this water supply will alone
make the work of the Board OF
Health a blessing to the people.
