UNCLEAN ONTARIO TOWNS.
Unsanitary Conditions Reported to
Provincial Realth Department.
A despatch from` Toronto says:
That urban Ontario to a, vctry ge'n-
era]. extent, is living in the pro-
verbial fool's paradise in regard to
health conditions is being made
manifest to the Provincial Health
Department- by the reports and
sanitary surveys coming in from the
seven district officers of health ap-
pointed under the Provincial sys-
tem. The new procedure requires
each of these officers to submit to
the Provincial Department a de-
tailed sanitary survey of all the
urban municipalities within his dis-
trict. This sanitary survey covers
all matters of interest and concern
in eonnectien with public health,
water supply, sewerage system,
garbage treatment, gas supply, ice
fields, the handling of the milk sup-
ply, and all data which may affect
the health of the community. The
receipt of many of these sanitary
surveys is causink the Provincial
authorities to gasp. There as con-
eiderable work cut out for them,
In many cases even the most rudi-
mentary health laws are set at de-
fiance. Summer Ice is taken from
waters into -which sewage is emp-
tied, garbage is carelessly handled,
the milk supply is coatarainated,
and other equally reckless proce-
dure is chronicled in a most mat-
ter-of-fact manner..
The Provincial Department is not
making public the names of the of-
fending municipalities, but the con-
ditions shown to exist in the var-
ious centres will be prenaptly grap-
,pled with. From present indica,-
tions it look -s as though a -whole-
sale campaign of general house-
cleaning will have to be waged
throughout urban Ontario, and
more rigid amendments inade to
the public health act.
