The City’s Campaign Against ‘Kitchen Disease’

Health Officer Miller has begun an active crusade against the violators of the health ordinance, urging them to clean up. He has served notices upon residents of the alley between A street and First avenue and Seventh and Ninth streets. Most of those receiving the notices, he says, have responded promptly, but a few have neglected them. The time of grace allowed having expired yesterday, he began suit against one of the refractory—John Legge by name, proprietor of a boarding house whose kitchen alone, he says, would breed disease. He was taken before Judge Sunderberg and the proper medicine administered. Miller will bring other suits tomorrow if his notices are not obeyed.
