TROUBLE FOR "CHIS"
Under New Law Health Board j
Supervises laundries.
MOVING DAY AT HAND
Sleeping Rooms Opening Into Pub?
lic Washington Establiahmenta
Prohibited by Statute?Local Au?
thorities Probsbly Will Act Soon.
Rather stringent regulations gov?
erning laundries and "public wash
houses" are contained in an act pass?
ed by the last l?gislature. Although
?the law became effective las! month.
! the local city health board has not
i been advised o? its existence and no
step has been taken to enforce Its
provision. The matter probably will
tie taken up by Hi?' board at Its
meeting atfl Thursday. September 1.
If enforced, ?his law will cause
[the Chinese laundrymen much
! trouble and Inconvenience as it pro?
hibits any person from sleeping In a
, laundry or in a room oponlng into
the laundry. Practically all of the
| ( hiname.n conducting laundries hero
I hieep in rooms adjoining the wash,
room and they must either move
their laundries or move their sleep?
ing place. The law also requires
that the rooms for the washing ?and
drying of laundry shall be nroperiy
ventllRted and. if it chooses to do
so, the city health board can re
quire cement or other mineral sub-"
stance flooring in the laundries.
Following Is the euniplcte act: I
"An act providing for the lnsi?cc
?ton and regulating of public laun
dries and wash houses within the
cities of the State of Virginia |
"Approved February 9. 1910." i
"1. Re it enacted by the general
assembly or Virginia, that the boards
ot healths of the respective cities of

State of Virginia, and shall not per:|
m?t the emplovment. by any public l

with an Infectious or contagious
disease: nor allow any person to

lic washhouse. or In any room ad
toinlng or opening into such pubic
laundry or washhouse, and every
room In such laundry or washhouse
that Is used for the purpose of wash?
ing or drying clothes, shall be prop??r
\y ventilated and drained, ?.hall be
used for no purpose other than that
specified. The floors of all rooms

meaning of this section shall be anv ;
place within anv city of the State of
Virginia, licensed to conduct a laun?
dry in any of its branches. Any iier-,
son. firm or corporation violating anv
of the provisions of this section
shall be d?*emed guilty of misde?
meanor and shall be fliar.l not less
than fifty dollars nor more than one
hundred dollars for each offense" j
"Any i>erson. firm or corporation
