BOARD OF HEALTH
HOLDS INTERESTING
MEETING LAST NIGHT
Many Subjects of Vital Interest to the
City’s Welfare Dis
cussed.
The Board of Health of the city of
Seward, composed of the. city clerk,
police and health committee of the
council, health officer and the marshal
met last night at the office of the city
clerk for the report covering the year
1915. The city health officer, Dr.
Romig, handed in his report for the
year which showed for that period
seven births and five deaths. No mar
riages were reported to the board
this year by the ministers as required
by the ordinance, who have therefore
become delinquent.
Five cases of measles and two of
mumps are the contagious report for
the year.
A resolution w’as passed to have the
health ordinance printed, and every
one is advised to read over the or
dinance carefully before the first of
..ter which date the ordinance
will be enforced stringently.
In regard to the garbage of the city
the health officer reported that it wa*
his belief that the great number of ■
flies last summer was due to the un
removed and uncovered manure and i
garbage cans. The employing of a
city scavenger was recommended
who should remove garbage cans and
manure from stables once a week and
the garbage at residences at least
once every other week. It is also
pointed out that all garbage recept
acles shall not be open.
A site for a quarantine hospital a
mile and a half south of the city on
the creek this side of Lowell point
was recommended, and also the erec
tion of a suitable building at that
place.
The officer also reported that there
is always a fresh supply of vaccine
and antitoxin on hand to handle any
epidenmic that may arise here.
It was pointed out that there were
very few cases in the past year for
free medical treatment although the
board is organized and prepared to
handle any in case such should be
necessary.
The health officer reported that the
city was abundantly supplied with
good pure water.
He also reports that the stores and
restaurants have been inspected three
times during the past year and for
the most part found them in good
condition. He reports that a few of
the restaurants have kitchens too
small for the business and would
therefore recommend that improve
ments be made immediately.
The report also pointed out that the
city sewer system w'as very poor, thai
sewers emptied into the bay at the
foot of each street and tended to con
taminate the beach and waterfront
For this reason, and that the sewer
is not large enough and not deep
enough in the ground, and therefore
of danger to health, the board recom
mends the appointment of a compet
ent engineer to change the present
system and have same empty in other
places than at present.
The matter of exit signs and exits
w’as also taken up last night. All
hotels and public assembly rooms
shall have exit signs over doors, other
than the main entrance, on a circuit
separate from that of the lights. Also
that all doors in this class of build
ings shall open outward. Every story
of the building shall also be provided
with the proper exits and signs.
The board also reported that in the
near future the horses, cows and dogs>
will have to be kept off the streets.
The matter of the projiosed steam
laundry to be established on fifth
avenue was unofficially discussed
last night, inasmuch as the proprietor*
Harry Kawabe, had not made applica
tion to the City Health Officer as
provided in the ordinance. There was
no action taken in the matter al
though some members of the board
strenuously oppose the plan of estab
lishing a steam laundry on Fifth
avenue.
FORMER SEWARI) MAN
MAKING A FORTUNE
I ——
George Wenkler Who Was Here All
Last Winter Taking Out
$20,000 a Month.
George Wenkler, who spent last
winter in Seward, is now taking out
twenty thousand dollars a month from
his quartz mine at Jarbidge, Nevada.
Mr. Wenkler had the mine when he
was here. He had formed a company
but for various reasons Jarbidge did
not advance and delays were caused
in its development. When he return
ed to the camp work was opened on
the claim and it is now' producing im
mensely. It is the Buster mine.
William Powers, who was also in Jar
bidge, received the word of Mr.
Wenkler’s good fortune.

EXTRACTS FROM THE
GOVERNOR’S REPORT
Total railroad mileage of Alaska is
466 miles.
An appropriation of $125,000 an
nually is required for the medical
care of the natives. The Bureau of
Education is making plans for the
erection of a large native hospital at
Juneau.
The department fixed on 5,500 seal,
as the number that could be killed in
the year 1915 by natives for food.
During the calendar year 1914 2,75,5
seals were killed for that purpose.
The rainfall at Haines and Skag
way is considerably less than at .*v
neau although they are only a hun
dred miles distnat. Seward has a less
amount of rain fall than other places
on the coast and a lighter snow fall.
The number of Alaska insane being
treated in Morningside asylum on
June 30, 1915, was 180, of which 156
were males and 24 females. Of
twelve patinct received during the
quarter 5 were discharged, 3 died and
3 escaped. The governor renews his
recommendation that the insane be
treated within the territory.
