It is recognized that the Jity has a mosquito control program which las year was satisfactory for many parts of the city,. On West Hill, however, the mosquito nuisance was serious, apparently related to the rainy season, which extended breeding areas, and to the fact that there are swampy areas outside the jurisdiction of the city in the tgwn of Ithaca, which are breeding grounds for mosquitoes, within flying distance of West Hill. , Some suggestions for the present season: mosquito control program, formulated after discussion with members of the Entomology Department at the University,, the City Forester and the Health Officer and a member of the County Board of Supervisors, are as follows t 1. The integration of the city control program with that of the Town of Ithaca, 4e have been assured that the town is willing to consider cooperation in such a program* 2# Hiring a competent entomologist at least part time to- keep tract of breeding areas and assist the City Forester, MroBaker, in the direction of the control program* 3. A long-range program of filling and draining swamp areas .--. particularly those nearest the city, such as the area within the cirel at the Lehigh Valley Railroad tracks north of the station. Costs to the city for this program excluding the drainage and fill would be an additional 1400 to $500 for the entomologist and in the case of a wet season, a possible increase in the present appropria• tion, for labor* An effective control program would also require cooperation of , the city residents in preventing stagnant water on their private gr ounds. Very truly yours, L, H• MacDaniels,President West Hill Civic Association" 153 Health Proceedings May 9, 1946 The Common Council recommended the resolution,for attention of the Board of Health and the Board of Public Workso Dr. Broad reported that no complaints were received from re.. sidents of Wiest Hill last season, although it was a particularly wet onQ-.

Restaurant Inspections Health Officer Broad reported that Mr. McCormack, an inspector for the State Department of Health was in the City on July 2nd and 3rd and accompanied by Sanitary Inspector Donohue, made an inspection'of several restaurants in the City. Following is a report with recommendations received from the State Department of Health as a result of the inspection. "On July 2 and 3, 1946, Mr. McCormack accompanied by Mr. Donohue, Sanitary Inspector, Ithaca Department of Health, made a sanitary in- spection of several Ithaca restaurants "For the most part the general sanitary conditions were fairly satisfactory, However, in some of the places visited conditions were unsatisfactory in that the kitchens were badly crowded for, space and the equipment and methods in use were poor and the disinfecting of dishes was unsatisfactory in that.the water used for rinsing was not hot enough for satisfactory disinfecting purposes. "Two places which were displaying Grade A cards were doing a very poor job of dishwashing. One of these places had a dishwashing machine which was in a very dirty conditiop and the dish tables, or slides, were made of wood and were in poor repair and very dirty. In the other place dishwashing was being done by hand and at the time of the inspection dishes were being washed and rinsed in dirty water. The rinsing was being done in a metal pot or kettle and after rinsing.. the dishes were wiped with a dirty towel. Inspection of glasses which were stacked on racks and ready for use were found to be very dirty. "Such places as the above restaurants should not be given Grade A ratings. "In two other places where grade signs were not observed, food such as pies and crullers was setting on the serving counters and exposed to dust, flies and coughing and handling by those sitting at the counters. The dishwashing in these places was very poor. In one .... of these places a case of milk in quart bottles was setting on the floor exposed to room temperature in a back room which was in a very dirty and untidy condition. "Restaurants in Ithaca are rated on a grade basis but are not re•• quired to have a permit by the department of health. While Ithaca is not the only city in New York State which does not require a restaurant permit, it might be well to give this matter careful consideration as it• is believed considerable improvement would result in sanitary conditions, dishwashing methods and procedures$ 1-56 i Board of Health Proceedings —2- August 9, 1946 "It was learned that the grade cards issued to the restaurants were issued previous to 19464 It is suggested reinspections be made of restaurants and graded accordingly, The Grade A cards issued to restaurants which do not meet the Grade A• requirements should be withdrawn. ` "Mr. Donohue knows'the places referred to and was present when these places were visitede" Dr,, Broad stated that all grading cards are to be withdrawn and new onesissued on the basis of present conditions, but since grading does not accomplish desired results in all cases, he recommended that a committee be appointed to study the possibility of licensing all eating places which would give definite control of all such establishments. He also suggested that same arrangement be made whereby the issuance of Building Permits for eating places would be contingent upon the approval of the Health Department' By Comm. Hassan, Sec, by Comm.

Gibb Ithaca, New York Dear Mayor Gibbs Recently I requested an opinion from our Office of Legal Affairs as to whether action by the Conon Council of the city of Ithaca in consenting to become a part of the Tompkins County Health District thereby abolished the Ithaca City Board of Health, the position of Ithaca City Health Officer and the city .of Ithaca as a local health district. Copies of the resolution passed by the Common Council were provided. Legal opinion (copy attached) was provided by Mr. Earl W. Murray, Assistant Attorney General for the State assigned to our Department. This opinion was approved by Attorney General Goldstein=s Office of the Executive Department of the State. As you will note, it is the opinion that the local board of health of the city of Ithaca will continue to exist and its local health officer will continue to hold office and perform his duties under the direction of the county health commissioner until such time as the Common Council acts to abolish said local health district. It is my belief, in the interest of economy and efficiency, that the Common Council should take such action. Sincerely yours, V. A.

Boardman Lee, City Attorney 102 West State St*' Ithaca, New York Dear Mr, Lee: The contents of your letter of May 12 with respect to certain health hazards on the Wood street Hoasing "Project are a bit surpris- ing. You doubtless know that this rro,ject was undertaker_ by the Federal Public Housing autherity and the colle,o has no authority in the matter un to the -point where it was accepted from the contractors by FPHA and turned over to the college. I cannot understand why any of t e '.". ;::s t ra.ns wefe not installed nor do I know any excuse for failure to conform Rich the Federal Emergency Code. In accenting the facilities I could do nothing, other than to assure th=:.t the contractor and sub-contractors had comulied with the Code, since there was no provision or opportunity for the college to exercise any inspection or enforcement prerogatives. I am tarring the deficiencies u-n with the prime contractor. I have also asked our superintendent of 1uildings to get in touch with kir. 'niton in order to identify the place or -?roes ?n which there F.re deficiencies. We will endeavor to correct these iefici encies eith-yr through the prime contractor, the sub-contractor, or -.t our own exrer.se. The labor market and the stringency of ear-clips may both operF to to prevent comnlianee with your ultimatum within the ten days Gtiuula.ted, in which case, of course, your office can hardly do otherwise than to nroceed in accordance with the statutes which govern your office.

ITHACA COLLEGE ITHACA, NEW YORK OFFICE OFTHE - - -- - - _. PRESIDENT _ December 20, 194 Dr. E. H. CrULn 152 East State Street Ithaca, New York Dear Dr. Crum: The 3onrd of Health can probably do nothing about the problem I discussed . itn you yesterday, but I should like to place the ;Matter be?ore it. Tha M oral Housirr Project Eoing up on ":ood Street haF been chccked by the plumbinv inspector because certain Speci_'icationj of the Government do not conform to the Ithaca Plumbing bing Cody. Thio c'C_t i riment as prepared in the contrLetor' s slop in Aew Rochell, and shi ?ed to Ithaca. Te are fin.lin- it .most difficult to keep this development ' orkinF and '+ ould like to know if the Boerd of Health has any jurisdiction in this matter. The Federal specifications fail to meet the plumbing ' code in the follooin v respects. 1. Some soil lines are only urine—inch instead of four as the code stipulated. 2. Traps in soil lines are not ,provided for each house. 3. T lines to the house roof ar The vent� e three— inch inch steel pipes instead of four—inch soil pipe. We r ould like an exceution made for ;1 especUlly and if po:_,sible 'l. ,iuriber 2 is probably a point on which an exception may not reasonably e p on y c_o� be _easona-till ask_d. Pla;yT I ask your Hoard to keep in TM3 Opt these houses must be taken do-n . ithin five years. Very truly your-,, Leonara 5. J b lbj :i , d: .__,. a� Al P, b 11ri 1r.
