BOARD OF HEALTH s].s=,5 1ssS N q
/ ... RI, MAKES INVEST1GATlOfl


LOT lle purpose OF talking over The
best plans Of putting the village =
as sanitary condition as possible and
considering the fact that both Ere
and disease are invited by rubbish
lilies, all residents cf the village of
Grand Marais are expected to join
in a general cleanup" of the wiiin-
ter's accumulation of paper, oily
rags, manure and other valueless
material, both inside and outside
their premises. All churches, the
school, garages, ali merchants, as
well as the general public, are urged
70 take part in AID assist in this
cleanup The board Of health has
made an investigation and as q re-
suit find that unless there is hearty
response to this appeal there will
be more danger of the spread Of
contagious diseases as we'll as more
danger Of costly fires. >: :
We therefore ask the hearty CO..
operation of all patriotic citizens to-
assist in making Grand Marais the:
most wholesome, clean and healthful
as we'll as the most beautiful village
in the state of Minnesota. i
By Ordinance No. 13 of the Wiz
lage Of Grand Marais, which is the
Health Ordinance of the village, il
is declared to be public nuisance
for any owner, agent, or occupant of
property to permit any stable man
ure pile upon premises owned, con-
trolled or occupied by him, to be-
come nauseous or offensive or injur-
ious to the public health, and the
health officer is authorized by this
ordinance to cause the summary re-
moval of any such nuisance. =.
Because of the apparent impossi-
bility to prevent such places from
becoming nauseous and offensive to
the neighborhood and injurious to
the public health, stables erected
partly or wholly over standing water
are regarded as especially objection
able, and it is recommended that
persons contemplating the erection
of such buildings in such places shall
before doing so, give careful atten-
tion to the provisions of said ordin-
ance.
The board being desirous Of avoid
ing the necessity Of summary action,
calls attention especially to the au-
thority given to the village, under
direction of the heath officer, for
the abatement of such nuisances.
