In attendance were Mayor Mo- wat, Dr. Evans, Dr. Hanley, S, 8S. Corbett, John Lemmon, Medical Health Officer Bell and Sanitary Inspector Gordon: On motion of Mayor Mowat, second- ed by 8. 8. Corbett, the hoard re-elect- ed John Mcintyre, K.C., as chairman. mayor. stated that Mr. Melntyre had proved a most efficient, painstak- ing and enthusiastic chairman, and it was wise for the board to try and re- tain him as its presiding officer. In the absence of the chairman-elect thé mayor was called upon to preside. Applicaticns were received from the St. Lawrence lce company, M. T. coms pany, William Drury and D. J. Millan for the privilege of cutting ice in the harbor for cooling purposes. Dr. Evans wanted to know what was meant by "cooling purposes." One dealer had one view of it and another dealer an- other. e speaker said that 'the board should be very careful ih regard | to the ice that is placed on the boats, | as many cases of typhoid fever have originated there during the past few Years. op Mr. Corbett said it was a hardship to ask the M. T. D. J. Millan and others to go aw ut in the harbor when they we using ice | only for cooling purposes as technical- | ly understood--that is for refrigerator | use by themsejves. Mr. Lemmon and } Dr. Hanley' agreed with Mr. Corbett. | If pure ice could be got near the shore an effort should be made to do 50 and the' applicants allowed to cut there. Mr. Corbett moved, seconded by Mr. | Lemmon, that nearer limits be laid out) by the sanitary inspector and health officer, and that Dr. W.T. Connell make a test of the ice as to its purity. Ti pure then that the four applicants be allowed to cut there, Dr. Evans said that he didn't pro- pose to run any risk in granting per mission to parties to cut ice for cool- ing prrposes outside the limits al: ready let. The board should not go back upon what it decided upon last week. He said that men on the va- | rious hoats, including those of the M. | T. company, had declared that there | was only one kind of ice aboard, and | that it went not only into the reiri- gerator but into the drinking water as well. He didn't intend to . make any excaption for the M. T. company. Pub- lic sentiment was stirred up over the ice question, and both press and peo ple demanded that a safe limit be set. The board had set the limit at the last meeting, and that limit should be maintained. | Mr. Corbett held that if pure. ice could be obtained nearef 8 shore 'the why should dealers not be allowed to cut it. The board, he claimed, w protecting the people, and would nothing that would be dangerous wo health. The M. T. company manager, Mr. Corbett said did not want jou | pure 'ice, and would not cut anything | that was not safe, but he didn't want | to go a long distance out if it was | not actually necessary. { The motion of Mr. Corbett was car | ried. In the meantime the applicants | will have to cut ice in the limits | ready set, and wmtil Dr. Connell | ports upon the other locality, r. Evans moved in amendment that the board require all parties who wish to cut ice to cut it within the limits al- ready set, without repard to what the | {ice is to be used for. ere Was no Se- | 'conder for this amendment. | Medical Health Officer Béll reported | that during January there vere... ve- ported to him only two cases of te- hod fever and four cases of diph- theria.
