George Shattuck Elected a Member of the Board of Health

New York, 1895

The town board of health met at the Town Hall on Wednesday and organized for the ensuing year. Supervisor Everitt presided. Justice Lester was absent through illness. Justice Kissam nominated for citizen member of the board George Shattuck, of Ozone Park. The nomination was seconded by Justice Lott. There being no other nomination, one ballot was cast by the clerk for George Shattuck, and he was declared the citizen member of the board for the ensuing year. He is an excellent selection.

Justice Lott called attention to the fact that parties from Brooklyn were dumping night soil and garbage on vacant land owned by non-residents at Woodhaven. Action in the matter was deferred until the next meeting, at which time a health officer will be elected.
