COLLEGE

At the meeting of the Sanitary Board this afternoon, an application was submitted by Mr. W. Danby, on behalf of St. Joseph's College, for permission to erect two water closets at St. Joseph's College. In the application Mr. Danby stated that these closets would only be used by 12 Brothers, 80 students and boarders, and in valids who were sent to the College for the purpose of recuperation. A storage tank con- taining 400 gallons was proposed as to be erect ed for the special purpose of providing water for those closets. Appended to the papers were the following minutes:-
