IMPORTANT, FORT MASON, April 23, 1%0& TO THE CITIZENS OF SAN FRANCISCO: Your attention is called to the great gdanger of an epidemic of typheid fever unless all drinking water is boiled. Do not think of using the water for drinking purposes unless this is done. I again call your attention to the waste of water which is going on at the present time. Water must not be used for the flushing of toilets, and, until further notice, house toilets should not be used, buf latrines built in- VSR ERRA N I RELIEF B,\AKERY WHICH IS BEING ERECTED NEAR THE SITE OF THE MECHANICS' PAVILION, AND.

This is. absolutely imperative, as the water supply is so short that there is barely enough for drinking purposes and none in case a fire should break out. The Spring Valley Water Company, through their engineer, Mr. Schussler, has. assureéd the Citizens' Committee that if the waste of water is discontinued for a few days they will be able to fill their reservoirs and thereby get preSsure enough in their pipes for fire purposes. Many complaints have come to this office that private parties are using dynamite in order to destroy the standing walls which are dangerous. The public is hereby notified that no dynamiting will be allowed unless done j through the proper authorities, under the supervision of Supervisor Dufty and the firing squad detailed by the Federal authorities for that duty. Dan~ gerous walls' and’ chimneys must be pulled down by other means than the use of dynamite. Information comes to me that the manholes of the cable system of tthe Telephone Company in the streets are being ‘used as receptacles for e and garbage. This will be /the means of breeding and dissemibating liscase, and you are hereby notified to refrain from using the manholes | of the Telephone Cablé System for this purpose, and to discountemance others from doing So. It is not only against the public health, but is also a_:):each of the law, which at this time especially must be severely dealt with, The use of oil stoves in houses is strictly forbidden by the Fire De- t, as they are very dangerous. Until the chimneys have been In- pected, repaired and declared safe all cooking should be done as is dome at le present time, by the USe of stoves in streets or in vacant lots. Until further notice,. and without permits, one-story wooden or galvan- ized iron buildings can, be erected, with the understanding that they shall be removed upon a niwety days' notice. All permanent construction must re- niain in abeyance uutil the building laws can be so changed as to provide | for the best constgliction possible.
