BE KEPT, AND ALL OTHERS INTERESTED. At a meeting of the Mayor and
Commissioners of Health, held at the City Hall of the City of New
York, Friday, June 18th, 1858, the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, A large number of swine are kept in various portions of the
city; and whereas, it is the general practice of persons so keeping
swine, to boil offal and kitchen refuse and garbage, whereby a highly
offensive and dangerous nuisance is created, therefore, be it
Resolved. That this Board, of the Mayor and Commissioners of Health,
deeming swine kept south of (86th) street, in this city, to be
creative of a nuisance and detrimental to the public health,
therefore, the City Inspector be, and he is hereby, authorized and
directed to take, seize, and remove from any and all places and
premises, all and every swine found or kept on any premises in any
place in the city of New York southerly of said street, and to cause
all such swine to be removed to the Public Pound, or other suitable
place beyond the limits of the city or northerly of said street, and
to cause all premises or places wherein, or on which, said swine may
have been so found or kept, to be thoroughly cleaned and purified as
the City Inspector shall deem necessary to secure the preservation of
the public health, and that all expenses incurred thereby constitute a
lien on the lot, lots or premises from which said nuisance shall have
been abated or removed.
Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions shall take effect from and
after the first day of July next, and that public notice be given of
the same by publication in the Corporation papers to that date, and
that notice may be given to persons keeping swine by circulars
delivered on the premises, and that all violations of this order be
prosecuted by the proper legal authorities, on complaint from the City
