J. H. Bridge the inventor of the ozonizing systeni for purifying water, entered into a , contract with the town to convert the ' l muddy and peaty water of the Scugog river into an “absolutely safe“ water, agreeing to remove all objectionable color, taste and smell from the said water. and to destroy all germs or lconstituents which might prove dan- gerous or liable to be harmful to the {health of the water users.

During the year lseveral samples of well water have [been analysed and pronounced unsafe jfor domestic use ,and it is the Opin- ‘ on of the Board that water is being Iused from wells which are polluted. lThlS is a matter which the Board has not been able to deal with, owing to Ethe water in the water mains also be- .lng impure. If the new filtration [plant proves successful in providing 1a wholesome supply of water ,there is illttle doubt that a number of wells ‘Wlll be condemned, and orders be is- sued for closing the same. l i A committee appointed to irispt‘Ct ~â€" ‘the slaughter houses visited these places in September. The report , brought in by the committee bore con- ; vmcmg proof of unsanitary conditions Lsurrounding the places where our Emeats are prepared. No attempt is i made by the butchers to comply with Ethe Medical Health Act governing l g slaughter houses. The Board of l lHealth have discussed the wisdom of i Ihaving a public abattoir where all ianimals should be inspected by a ca- ~ pable inspector before being allowedl :to be slaughtered, such abattoir to be built in accordance with the Medical Health Act, and to be maintained un- der the supervision of an inspector . Nothing has been done regarding the ginspection of milk supply. A late imedical congress condemned impure Emilk as the transmitter of many di- iseases, such as typhoid fever, con- isumption ,etc. Milk is a diet, especi- ‘ally adapted to children. and at a time of life when they are unable to lresist the injurious effects of impure ifoods. It is therefore of the utmost lconsequence that inspection should be lmade of cows supplying the milk. to ‘see that they are healthy: and that :thcy get a good supply of pure water; ithat they are properly housed and cared for; that cleanliness should be ‘observed in handling the milk, as it is .impossiblc to be too particular about this one article of dict. The Board of Health. as guardians of the public health, with the co-opcm- ‘tion of thc Town Council, are in duty :bound to use evcry precaution to in- ; sure a wholesome supply of meat, wa- tcr and milk to our citizens. All of Which is respectfully submit- ted. , ALEX. HORN, 3 Chairman Lindsay Board of Health. ___â€"- The report of thc chairman of tho I Board was referred to the Town Coun- cil as customary.
