With reference to our editorial notes of the 2bth. on sanitary affairs, the at- tention of readers is invited to paragraph 98 of the Sanitary Regulations which have been in force since 1886, sent us by the Chief Sanitary Officer for publication it being the understanding of the Depart- ment that under the provisions of this paragraph the Sanitation Service may in- speci breaa making and 1n event the con- ditions under which the work is earried on be found contrary to sanitary require- ments as approved by such inspecticn the dougn v1 bread may be declared un- fit for public consumption and ordered ST. CHRiI:I X A ViEDS destroyed. This is a question of inter- pretation it would appear since we are unable to draw such a conclusion from the wording of the text, and in all pro- bability the courts would have to decide fully upon this. i ; As regards the order to keep doors of toilets open the Chief Sanitary Offi- cer assures us that no such order has been issued. The request to unlock doors was pnssibly misunderstood and may be responsible for the seeming con- trariness of this order as first reported. | The people are advised to understand well what is told them by emissaries of ~ the Sanitary Department and in cases - where extreme, far-fetched demands ~ are urged, it is recommended to see ~ the Chief Sanitary Officer who dzcl=res that his efforts. are purely in the peo- . ple’s interests and in compliance with ' existing sanitary laws which will be . administered with moderation and due ~ regard for all concerned. | LOCAL. | A large letter mail wasreceived by Schr. .
