industrial establishment, in such a way as to be or to be liable to become a
menace to the public health or comfort, or whenever the existing method
of waste disposal in a manufacturing or industrial establishment is found
to be or be liable to become in any way a menace to health or comfort, the
State Board of Health shall issue an order requiring the owner of such
establishment to cease pollution of the .body of water into which the waste
is discharged, or to make such alterations in the method of disposing of said
waste, as the Board may deem necessary to protect the public health and
comfort; and said order shall be complied with within such time as the
State Board of Health shall determine. Plans for all such changes in the
method of disposing of trades wastes shall be submitted to the State Board
of Health for approval, and all construction shall be carried out in con-
formity therewith. If the State Board of Health shall approve the plans
submitted, it shall issue a permit for the use of the method proposed for
taking care of the waste, and no revised method for taking care of said
waste shall be put into effect without such permit. The owner of any manu-
facturing or industrial establishment shall submit to the State Board of
Health, on demand, all plans, information and records regarding the exist-
ing methods used for the disposal of wastes at that establishment.

become, dangerous to health, or that the discharge of sewage or the method
of disposal of sewage or refuse, from any system or plant, public or private,
is, or is likely to become, prejudicial to health or comfort, it shall order
that said source of water or ice supply shall be closed, or said point of
sewage discharge, or method of disposal of sewage or refuse, abandoned; or
the Board may order that such works or devices shall be installed, or such
measures instituted, as shall be sufficient to remedy existing conditions, if
in its judgment such conditions can be remedied in a practical manner by
said works, devices or measures. In case a public or private system of
water supply, sewerage or refuse disposal is condemned by the State Board
of Health, the Board may order such arrangements made by the owner of
said system or plant as will effectually prevent its operation. The State
Board of Health shall specify such date for compliance with any order pro-
vided for in this Section as it may deem reasonable and proper.

which is or may become prejudicial to health, the State Board of Health
may order said property to be connected with the water supply or sewerage
system, and the spring, well, cesspool, privy, sink drain or private sewage
disposal plant abandoned and left in such a way that it cannot be again
used nor become injurious to health. The State Board of Health shall be
empowered to prevent the construction of any proposed well, cesspool,
