BOARD OF HEALTH.

Monday, August 6. The usual fortnightly meeting of the Board was held at noon. Present—Messrs Harman, Duncan, Jones, Hall, Eoss, and Tancred. On the motion of Air Duncan, Air Tancred was requested to act as chairman. INSPECTOR’S REPORT. The report of the Inspector of Nuisances was read. He had made a house to house inspection of the Heathcotc district, and found it in a very bad state. The term of notice served on Mr King as to his soap and candle factory had expired, and he had made certain alterations which he thought would prevent, any further complaint. The report was considered seriatim. As to the bad state of the Heathcotc district it was resolved t o bring the matter under the notice of the Drainage Board. The question of the bad state of the side channel on Cumberland road was referred to the Avon Eoad Board. As respected the matter of the stagnant water in Jackson’s Creek, it was resolved to serve notice on the owners of sections abutting on the creek to till up. The remainder of the report was approved. CORRESPONDENCE. A. letter was read from Air Denham calling the attention of the Board to the fact that the works at the East Christchurch school and the leakage of the baths at the same school had caused the water to flood his land. Mr Duncan moved—“ That a copy of the letter be sent to ( he East Christchurch School Committee,” which was agreed to. SAN (VARY COM Mi TTEE. A report was read from the sanitary committee having reference to the adoption of a closet pans. They had conferred with the committee of the City Council, and Air Walkden, the City Surveyor, had brought before them a sample which they thought better, than the one they had at first adopted. If Dr Powell approved of it the committee recommended the adoption of the pan, and the calling for tenders for sixty pans. Air Harman said that he might explain that Air Walkden’s plan would allow of the work being done in the day time, and, besides, it met many of the objections which had been felt when they came to see it. The committee thought that Mr Walkdeu’s plan was the best submitted. The secretary said that the Medical Officer of Health approved highly of Air Waklden’s plan, and tenders had been advertised for. It was resolved that Air Walkden be reimbursed for any expense he had been put to, the cost to be divided between the Board and the City Council, The report as a whole was adopted. ACCOUNTS. Accounts to the amount of £l3 13s 4d were passed for payment. INVECTIOUS DISEASES. Two cases of scarlatina were reported during the fortnight. The Board then adjourned. India has now begun to cut out China as the supplier of tea. In 1875, for the first time, the import of China tea to Great Britain ceased to augment, while that of the Indian product represented the whole increase. The same fact is true of the United States, which is drawing its supply from Japan more and more every year. | Radical Changes for the Better take place in the disordered and weakened stomach, the torpid liver, the dormant or congested kidneys, the irritated bladder, the overstrained nerves, the rheumatic joints, and weakened muscles, when that supremely efficiently stomachic, antibilious remedy, nervine blood depurent and tonic, Udolpho Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is employed to rectify their disorders or overcome their disabilities. —[Advt.]
