Mayor Schunk then presented the fol- lowing veto: Dubuque, Iowa, May 22, 1908. To the Honorable Council, City of Dubuque: Dear Sirs: I herewith submit the report of the committee of the whole, adopted by motion at this evening's session, appointing the Times - Journal the official paper of the city, and pro- viding for publication of proceedings by the Telegraph - Herald, National Demokrat and Labor Leader. I object to the report because it is decidedly unfair to the last three pa- pers. If this council sincerely desires to economize in this matter of print- ing it should cut the revenue of all the city papers impartially and alike. If political favors are to be granted in this matter let them be at least equitably distributed. There are eight members of this body, four are of the Citizen party and four are democrats, and both elements are entitled to equal consideration, no more and no less. The Telegraph - Herald and Times - Journal represent these two ele. - ments, and both should be on a basis of equality when it comes to a dis- tribution of political favors. When- ever this council adopts a plan of division of the city printing that in every way places the Telegraph -Her- ald on an equal footing with the 'Times- Journal I will promptly approve .of same. The amounts paid the National Demokrat and Labor Leader, hereto- fore, are not excessive, and they are certainly entitled to the twenty -five dollars per month each, because rep- resentative of certain interests that should be recognized. I return to you herewith the report, and hereby veto the motion that car- ried adopting same. Respectfully, H. A. SCHUNK, Mayor. Ald. Frith moved that the report of the committee of the whole be car- ried over the mayor's veto. Veto was then sustained by the fol- lowing vote: Yeas — Frith, Haas, O'Rourke and Rand.

Nays— Martin, Saul and Singrin. On motion of Ald.

The agents used for such i:e called "disinfectants" or "germicides ". An "antiseptic" is an agent which prevents the development of bacteria ;but does not necessarily destroy them. A "deodorant" is a substance which has power to remove offensive odors but is not necessarily a disinfectant "Sterilization" is a term used to 'designate the destruction of germs by heat, where "disinfection" refers .more properly to their destruction by chemical agents. The term "aseptic" and "sterile" have reference to a condition denoting the absence of germ life. .Diseases in Which Disinfection Is Required. Rule 2. Disinfection of the pre - mises, patient, patient's secretions, excretions and exudates, books, cloth- ing and furniture, and everything used by the patient shall be carried out in the following infectious dis- eases: Asiatic Cholera, Bubonic Plague, Epidemic Cerebrospinal Meningitis, Diphtheria (including Membranous Croup), Measles (including German Measles), Mumps, Scarlet Fever (in- cluding Scarlet Rash and Scarletina), Smallpox, Chickenpox, Tuberculosis (including Consumption), Typhoid Fever, Typhus Fever, Puerperal Fever, Erysipelas, Pneumonia, Whoop- ing Cough, and it is strongly recom- mended that disinfection also be car- ried out in Influenza. Preliminary Precautions. Rule 3. Before beginning disinfec- tion, the requirembnts as prescribed in the following Sections shall be complied with: Section 1. The person employed to do the disinfecting shall wear a cap and gown so constructed as to com- pletely cover his clothing, and shall cover his face with a piece of gauze. After all arrangements are complete, these garments shall be left on the premises and disinfected in the same manner as other infected articles. Sec. 2. All holes, cracks, and other external apertures shall be sealed by pasting over them pieces of paper, or filling them with clean, damp cotton rags. Sec. 3. All bedding and other cloth- ing, carpets and rugs should be hung on chairs, or upon lines stretched across the room for that purpose. Books should be placed on edge, or hung upon a line in such a manner as Official Notices 1 53 to sprean the pages. Drawers, cup- boards and trunks should be opened, and while their contents need not be unnecessarily disarranged, they should be loosened in such a manner as to give free access to the disinfecting gas. Windows should be securely closed, but left unlocked, in order to admit of their being opened from the outside, after the disinfection is com- plete. Sec. 4, When using Formaldehyde. no open vessel containing water should be left in the room, (except as provided in Rifle 12.) Sec. 5. The temperature of the room shall in no case be below 60 de- grees F. (preferably 70 degrees F. or above). If' the atmosphere is unusu- ally dry, the amount of moisture should be increased by boiling a ket- tle of water in the room, or by pour- ing boiling water from one vessel to another for five or ten minutes before beginning the disinfection. Sec. 6. A large wash tub should be placed near the center of the room, conveniently situated so as to be seen through one of the windows. In this should be placed a tin or iron pail about 12 to 16 inches deep. (It is ad- visable to cover the outside of the pail with asbestos paper, leaving the top open.) Materials to be Used for Disinfection. Rule 4. For every 1,000 cubic feet of space to. be disinfected, the fol- lowing materials and quantities shall be used: 40 per cent Solution of Formalde- hyde, 20 ounces. Permanganate of Potash (Fine Cry- stals) 8 ounces. These quantities are to be used to disinfect premises following cases of: Asiatic Cholera, Bubonic Plague Cerebrospinal Meningitis, Diphtheria (Membranous Croup), Scarlet Fever (Scarlet Rash and Scarletina), Small- pox, Chickenpox, Tuberculosis (Con- sumption), Typhoid Fever, Typhus Fever, Erysipelas and Puerperal Fever. In cases of Measles (German Measles), Mumps, Whooping Cough and Pneumonia, only half the above quantities are required. Mode of Operation. Rule 5. Section 1, When the room or house to be disinfected has been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of Rule 3, the proper quantity of Permanganate of Potash, as prescribed in Rule 4, should be placed in the pail. The solution of 40 per cent Formaldehyde should be placed in a tin dipper or other vessel convenient for pouring rapidly. The operator, when every- thing is in readiness, should pour the Formaldehyde upon the crystals of Permanganate of 'Potash contained in the pail, and immediately leave the room. closing the door and stonnins r • • 154 - aii CI in tue manner indicated in .Rule 3. This operation should be per- formed quickly, as the gas generates very rapidly. The door should be locked in order to prevent accidents, and the room, or building, as the ' case may be, kept closed for at least eight hours. At the expiration of this time, 'the windows should be opened from the outside, and in the space of 15 or 20 minutes, the door may be opened, allowing the air to blow through the room. If the odor remaining is very strong, a little ammonia -water sprinkl- ed upon the floor will soon neutralize the Formaldehyde and - fasten the disappearance of the odor. Sec. 2. After the fumigation, as prescribed in this Rule, has been completed, all bedding, clothing, etc., that will not be harmed by boiling, should be boiled for at least half an hour. When possible, mattresses, rugs and heavy curtains should be steril- ized by steam under pressure at 120 degrees C. for 30 minutes. Where this is not possible, these articles should be taken out of doors and thoroughly aired and exposed to the rays of the sun for an hour or so. Note. In disinfecting, it is neces- sary to see that the shoes worn or used by the operator and all persons upon the premises are properly disin- fected, as these articles are frequently overlooked and become the conveyors of infectious diseases. They may be readily disinfected by using Standard Solutions 1 and 2. Articles to be Destroyed. Rule 6. Under the method prescrib- ed in Rule 5, it is unnecesary to de- stroy any articles of value. Papers, rags, cheap books, and other articles of little or no value, should be burned. In cases of Scarlet Fever, Smallpox and Diphtheria, in addition to the re- quirements of Rule 5, all woodwork, and if possible, the walls, should be washed with a liquid disinfectant, such as a solution of Bichloride of Mercury, one - part of Bichloride of Mercury to 1.000 parts of water. Where the wall paper is loose or dilapidated, it should be removed and burned. Disinfection of Persons Who Have Been Affected With or Exposed To Infectious or Contagious Diseases. Rule 7. Before release from quar- antine, all persons who have been at fected with or exposed to am .Infec- tious or contagious• disease, shall he subjected to the following require- ments: They shall be removed to a room that has been disinfected ao cording to Rule 5. The entire. body including the hair, shall be washed with a solution of Bichloride of Mer- cury, one part Bichloride of .M.ercurl to 3,000 parts of water (See" Standard Official Notices soluton No. 4) or a 21/2 per cent solu- tion of Carbolic Acid (See Standard Disinfectant No. 2). They shall the be subjected to a full bath with plenty of soap and hot water, after which they shall be provided with clothing that has been properly dis- infected, or that has not previously been upon the infected premises. Disinfection of the Dead. Rule 8. The remains of all persons who die from infectious or contagious diseases should be thoroughly in- jected with a disinfecting embalming fluid. External orifices must be se- curely closed with absorbant cotton, and the entire body, including the hair, thoroughly cleansed with a relia- ble disinfectant, such as Standard Solution No. 3. In cases where it is impracticable to prepare a dead body as indicated in this rule, the body must be wrap- ped in a sheet or cloth saturated with Standard Solution No. 3, before being placed in the casket. The prepara- tion of bodies as prescribed in this rule must in all cases be done by a licensed embalmer. Disinfection of Vehicles. Rule 9. Section 1. All cabs, boats, hearses and other vehicles used in the removal of a patient or the body of a person affected with, or who has died from any contagious or infectious dis- ease, shall be disinfected in the man- ner defined in Section 2 of this Rule. Sec. 2. Remove all cushions, cur- tains and other accessories and place them in a small room or tight cup- , board, and disinfect them in accord- ance with the requirements prescribed in Rule 5. If the vehicle can be closed up, It should be fumigated in the same manner as prescribed in Rule 5. If this is impracticable, it should be washed Inside and out with a solution of Bichloride of Mercury, one part to 1,000 parts of water. Pet Animals. Rule 10. All cats and dogs and other pet animals kept upon the pre- mises infected with any contagious . or infectious disease, shall be thor- oughly washed with soap in a tub of hot water containing 5 per cent solu- tion of Carbolic Acid. Additional Requirements. Rule 11. When it is necessary to disinfect any premises and the pra• since of bed bugs or other vermin is suspected, Sulphur must be used in addition to Formaldehyde. The fol- lowing is the most convenient and effective manner of using the sane: Place in the room a wash boiler con- taining about 6 to 8 inches of boiling water. Place a brick in . the center of the water, and upon this- a sulphur candle. Light the candle, and be sure that it is burning well; before start- ing the Formaldehyde fumigation. If -possible the water in — u.p �i, > >• ;�_ snouia oe Kept boiling by means or a stove or gas lamp. Notes. Sunshine is Nature's best disin- fectant and should be utilized as much as possible. Let it enter the sick room freely. Many of the so- called disinfectants that have been placed upon the mar- ket are absolutely worthless and should be avoided. Local Boards of Health should buy their Formaldehyde and Permanga- nate of Potash from reliable firms. If these articles are purchased in suf- ficiently large quantities the whole- sale price can be obtained. Disinfection should always be done under the direction of the Local Board of Health, and at public ex- pense, and under the personal super- vision of the Health Officer. The per- son employed to do the disinfecting should be one apecially trained to understand the various methods to be used, and the precautions to be observed, and should be held per - sonally responsible to the Local Board of Health. STANDARD DISINFECTANTS. (All should be plainly labeled "POISON ".) Solution No. 1. Carbolic Acid. 5 per cent Carbolic Acid, one -half pint; water, five quarts May be used for sputum cups, wash- ing furniture, metal surfaces, various secretions, excretions and exudates. Caution. —This should not be used for the face or on delicate skins. Solution No. 2. Carbolic Acid, 2 / per cent solu- tion. Mix one part of Sol. No. 1 with one part of water.
