Sec. 342. Infected houses.
When the Board of Health shall be of the opinion that any
house in which an infected person or thing has been, should be
cleansed or purified to prevent the spreading of disease, the
Mayor, at its instance, shall order the same to be done by the
occupant of such house, or if the latter, by reason of poverty be
unable to do it, the Mayor shall cause the same to be done at the
expense of the city. For failure to comply with the order of the
Mayor within 48 hours, the person so offending shall pay a fine
of not less than $5.
