The propriety of modifying the yeeinas order of the Board limiting the disinfection to four wards, 80 as to include all the unheaithy districts, came up for discussion, when Commissioner Mannierre moved that a sum, not to exceed $2,500, be placed at the disposal of the Sant- tary Committee, and that they be instructed to apply the disinfecting process to any part of the city they ra deem So ordered.

Bat with few exceptions there were besides in close proximity open kettles, some with fireplaces underneath, and others simply resting on the door, which, however, the proprietors assured him they did not use except as coolers, He learned from out- side parties that the olfensive odors prevailed at night and can only account for it by supposing it to be caused by these coolers. In view of ail the facts, however, of information aud observation, he recom- mended that permits during the pleasure of the carried on only between the tours of six A. M. and six P.M. and that the steam tight apparatus only be used, the duty of ob erving that such conditions are complied with being en- trusted to the captain of the precinct in which such establishment is located, who will report to the Board any infringement thereof, in which event the t will be revoked, On motion the report was received, and the recommendation contained in it adopted and so ordered. One of the purties making application was pre- sent and addressed the Board in his own behalf, He professed perfect satisfaction with this resuit. @ A communication was received froin the Sanitary Ths] rat Hunter's Point stating that su:ne one had placed sixty barrels of rotten eggs alongside the the uncomfortable condition | railroad track there which were very offensive and dangerous to the public health.
