Excerpt from Fourth Annual Report of the Board of Health: Of the Health Department of the City of New York, May 1, 1873, to April 30, 1874 To the Honorable William F. Havemeyer, Mayor of the City of Mew York: The Board of Health of the Health Department of the City of New York respectfully submits the following Annual Report, which contains a review of its proceedings for the year ending April 30, 1874. Reorganization. - The Board of Health, reorganized under chapter 335, Laws of 1873, held its first meeting at No. 301 Mott Street, on the 14th day of May, 1873, all the Commissioners present, viz.: Henry Smith, President of the Board of Police; S. Oakley Vanderpoel, M.D., Health Officer of the Port; Charles F.Chandler, Ph. D., Commissioner of Health and President of the Board, and Stephen Smith, M.D., Commissioner of Health. Emmons Clark was elected Secretary of the Board. The two Bureaux provided for by law, and of which the Sanitary Superintendent and Register of Records are the chief officers respectively, were at once organized and called the Sanitary Bureau and the Bureau of Vital Statistics, and the powers and duties were assigned to each as prescribed by law, and the rules and regulations of the former Board. The duties of the Sanitary Permit Inspector under the preceding Board were duly conferred upon the Sanitary Superintendent and Secretary. As the officers, clerks, and employes of the former Board were by law transferred to the service of this Board until the appointment of their successors, there was no interruption in the business of the Department. The routine of the business of the Board and the forms and methods of transacting the same required no material modification, and were continued in use in the Department. Rules and Regulations. - The rules and regulations governing the Health Department as before existing, after a critical examination, were adopted without material alteration. They had been so perfected during the period since the organization of the Metropolitan Board of Health in 1866, that the only important changes made were those rendered necessary by the reduction in the number of Commissioners, and of the Bureaux of the Department.
