Board of Health Will Prosecute All Violators of the Burial Permit and Plumbing Rules from Now On Other Actions. With a full attendance and every one brimful of business the board of health met In regular monthly session last night. Three radical actions were taken by the hoard, viz: the Plumbing Inspector was authorized to prosecute all vlolatois of the rules governing plumbing; the secretary was instruct ed to notify all undertakers and ceme tery otllelals who disregard the rule of obtaining burial permits before Inter ment Is accomplished that prosecution will follow the next known violation, and Health Olllcer Allen, in conjunc tion with Plumbing Inspector O'Mal ley, was dlteeted to visit the Meadow Drook Fertilizing plum, In South Scranton, and to take such action In connection therewith us was deemed expedient. The first aetlun grew out of the re port made by the plumbing Inspector in connection with the work ho has been doing. Ho stated that during his past year's Inspections he has found but' one firm who stood out against the work of the Inspector and resisted the enforcement of the plumbing laws, and that llrm was Nolan llrothets. of Linden street. Further he stated that he had exhausted every means In his Iiower. wltli the exception of prosecu; ing, and nothing was gained. The board Immediately passed a mo tion authorizing the plumbing inspec tor to prosecute to the full extent of the law ns he saw lit any violations of the plumbing law. The second action arose from the re port submitted by Secretary Murray by request of the bon-'d In reference to how consistently mirlul penults were being obtained. The report in dicated that sonui cemetery ubsoeiu tlons did not require any board of health permit from undertaken). Some undertakers secured permits anywhere from one to four days after burial, apparently for form's sake only. Hence the board's action. In connection with this mutter the physicians who return a contagious disease report after death has ensued aro to ho prodded In the future If the neglect continues. The third nctlon followed tho filing of complaint made by Alderman Storr and several other prominent South Scranton citizens concerning the odor and filth ut tho fertilizing plant. Iieulth Ofllcer Dr. Allen's report, among other things, stated that ho had investigated the report that a cer tain dairyman who supplied mllti to patrons In the city, hnd diphtheria, rampant In his fnmlly. The report waB found to be true and the man and his family were immediately Isolated from his business. In connection with the prosecution of Clark and Ileler, who are accused of tapping the sewer pipe nt No. 2S school and thereby causing a diphtheria epidemic, Dr, Allen stated that the city solicitor was too busy to assist him up to the present time, The board told the health olllcer to act as quickly ui possible, all things being considered. Seciotary. Lf e, of the Ht,ato bourd of health, Is reported as saying In writing of the above matter, that the pprson ot persons who cut the sew er pipe outfit to be beheaded. Secretary Mm ray reported that the total number of deaths for the month was 119, of which 111 were due to vari ous cutlpes from disease nnd eight from nreldent.il causes.
