Will ImproTc City's San-itary Condition. MORE RECORDS. BIRTHS AND XABBXAGES HTT8T BE HI POSTED. PROTECTION FOR EMPLOYES. i Wfh the object In view of making the record of the Health Department, more complete and of Insuring even better health than the people of Louisville have, been enjoying-.

Dr. Allen will cause five ordinances to be introduced In the General Council at Its next meeting which. If pae4. will be of Invaluable service to th- city. One of the ordinance! Is a revision of the ordinance already in force.

It la a measure regulating the burial of tfie dead and wa prepared Just at this time la a precaution. If its pro are carried out to the letter and Health Officer AHen says he will ee to' their enforcement if the ordinance la adopted the city will jt in an excellent condition by summer to defy any malignant and contagious diseases which might be prevalent elsewhere. i Tour of the ordinances are altogether new. though similar meaeurea are in -eTect in nearly every city of 60.000 or wore Inr-abitants. One Is an ordinance concerning marriage In the city.

It make It the duty of every clergyman, magistrate or other person who performs, marriage eeremon'r within the city to report each marriage solemnised by him to the Health Officer within forty-eight hours thereafter, giving the full name. age. color, occupation, birth-place. State or county and legal residence of each person married. Any clergyman or official who neglects making such reports will be fined not less than $5 nor more than 120.

Kven the rights of babies for public recognition will be observed by ordinance, which. Dr. Allen declares, haa been a crying" need for some time. This measure will require that every physician, accoucher, midwife, or other person who shall attend or assist at the birth of ft child, shall report the birth to the Health Officer for the use of the Board of Public Safety within three days thereafter, stating the date of birth, sex and color of the child or children born, whether stillborn or not, the full nam, nativity and residence of the parents, and the maiden name of the mother of such child or children as far as known or aa the facta can be ascertained. The ordinance also makes It Incumbent upon physicians, accoucher and mldwlves to reglcter at.

the Health Office, giving full name and address, and to notify the Health Officer In caae of removal from this city. One of the most Important of the new ordinances Is one regulating the sani-' tary condition of manufacturing llshments, tenement, lodging and board ing-housea, stores and public buildings. It makes strict provision that no owner, lessee pr keeper of any such houses shall allow them to be overcrowded, or "to allow to great' a number of people tp dwell or sleep In any such house aa to cause any danger or detriment to life or health." The ordinance requires that all such places as above mentioned be placed In good sanitary condition well ventilated, well lighted and cleanly. A strict enforcement of this ordinance. Dr.

AIln says, would materially lower th death rate and would make the city less inviting to disease. "I am dally visited by women and girls." he said, "who declare that th places at which they are employed are totally unfit for the employment of women. The looks of these complain- anta are the (proof of what they tell me. TOyOverlfcok their demands would be a crime. I am only surprised that th death rat among the working classes of women Is not larger-than It If the ordinance is adopted, persons who violate it will be given thirty days notice In writing by the Health Officer to comply with the provisions.

Violations thereafter will be subject to heavy tinea. Another important ordinance which- la ready to be submitted Is one relating to the practice of embalming the city. It has been prepared to check the spread of contagtous diseases. It creates "KmbAlmlng Board of Louisville, to consist of the President of the Board of Public Safety, the Health Officer, th Coroner of Jefferson county, the Jefferson Ccuntv Referee of the State Board of Healtti and one embalmer who haa had not less than Ave yeara experience, who la to be selected by all Uie embfflm-. ers of the city.

After the passage of th ot'ttnnnc every person now engaged, or hereafter desiring to engage. In the practice of embalming must make a written application to the "Embalming Board" for a permit to practice. Before the permit Is Issued the applicant must prove himself or herself of good moral character and possessed of skill and knowledge In the science of embalming and of the care and disposition of the dead. Th peaalty for violation of thU ordinance Is made especially heavy. 1 being not less than $50 nor more than $100 for act Th revised general ordkianc regulating the burial of the dead la.

In many repects. more rigid than the ordinance now In elfect-Among (other things It provide that: i Whenever any person shsll die In th city of Louisville. It of the physician who attended during his or hi" Uat sickness tend, th. duty of th Coroner when the case eonies under: his notice), to furnish the Health Department. within twelve hour from death of patient, a certificate setting forth as far aa the sam can be ascertained.

It shall be th duty of th physician of th district wher th death occurs, upon being notified thereof by th Health Ottlcer. to inak th necessary examination In such cases, and to sign the certiflcat of death as aforesaid: provided. It be not a caa requiring the attendance of tb Coroner.

"It shall the duty of any undertaker, othr person having charge, before removing any corpse from the place wher death occurred, to apply for and obtain a permit from th Health Department, which permit shall not be given before th filing with the department of health of a certificate, signed by the attending phy-loJan. or dlatrlct physician, aa set forth In Section i of this ordinance, slating th fsots aa called tor In the blanks of tb 4(Darttnent. and said permit must ap-nlted for by the undertaker, or other per-Ltn. having charge of th remains, within w4v loours aftr tb notification of 'J AmmtYt tram inr nestilentlal Ororai unaatuium, un-iv, 'cartet fever, relapsing fever, ty- tbu (ewr. cooler.
