UNCLEAN ONTARIO TOWNS Deplorably Unsanitary Conditions Reported to the Provincial Health Department A despatch from Toronto says : That urban Ontario, to a very gen- ' ral 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 even district officers of health ap- pointed under the Provincial sys- tem. The now 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 connection with public health, water supply, sewerage system, garbage treatment, as 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 causing the Provincial authorities to gasp. There is con- siderable work cut out for them. In many cases even the most rudi- mentary health laws are set at do- fiance. Summer ice is taken from waters into which .sewage is emp- tied, garbage is carelessly handled, the milk supply is contaminated, 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 promptly grap- pled with. From present indica- tions it looks UH though a -whole- sale campaign of general house- cleaning will have to be waged throughout urban Ontario, and more rit^id amendments made to 1he public health act.
