Dr. Cox thought the board had no right to receive eases of-mall-pox under such cireum- stances, He did hot think acase of small-pox from abroad should come into the city it it could possibly be prevented. ‘Dr. Bliss, of the sanitary police committee. said he had seen the Governor, and had got per- mission to build a pound out near the poorhouse, and had directed the inspector general to select the spot and proceed with the building. he health officer made a report on the dif- ferent city ets, in which he says he finds them in a condition to generate disease among residents in the vicinity and people who tre- juent them. ‘The floors are mataly paved with brick, and as they are under cover, retain much moistere, while the space between the bricks are receptacles for decayed animal and vegeta- le matter.
