HEALTH. 1661
privy, sink drain or private sewage disposal plant whenever or wherever
it may deem that the proposed construction would be prejudicial to health.
After April 16, 1914, no privy shall be built within the State of Maryland,
except it be of such construction as will effectually prevent any contact of
fecal matter with the soil and also access to such, matter by flies. The State
Board of Health shall be the judge as to whether or not any privy is built in
conformity with this rule, and if it shall find that the regulation has not been
strictly compiled with, it shall condemn the structure and shall order that
such changes be made as will be sufficient for compliance with this provision.
An. Code, sec. 282. 1914, ch. 810, sec. 14.
341. The State Board of Health shall have supervision and control
over the surroundings of any source from which either surface or under-
ground water, for potable purposes, is collected for delivery in containers;
and it shall also assume jurisdiction over the method of collecting, bottling
and delivering such waters. After April 16, 1914, no such waters shall be
collected, bottled or delivered until a written permit so to do has been
issued by the State Board of Health to the owner of such supply. No such
permit will be issued if the State Board of Health determines that said
water is in any way injurious to the public health. Corporations, companies
and persons handling potable waters, shipped from points outside of the
State of Maryland, shall receive permits to sell waters only upon presenta-
tion to the State Board of Health of a permit issued by the State Board of
Health of the State from which the water is collected, stating that the source
of such water supply and the method of handling the water, as practiced
within the limits of that State, are such as not to be prejudicial to the public
health, and that said water is allowed to be sold within the limits of the
State issuing said permit. Nothing herein provided shall, however, prevent
the State Board of Health from prohibiting the use of such water shipped
from another State, if in its judgment said water is shown by analysis to
be unfit for potable purposes, or if its quality in any way is injured by such
handling as may be accorded to it after arriving within this State.
An. Code, sec. 283. 1914, ch. 810, sec. 15.
342. After April 16, 1914, no new source of ice supply, either
natural or artificial, shall be used for furnishing ice to the public for
domestic purposes unless such source be approved by the State Board of
Health and a written permit be issued by the Board for the harvesting or
manufacture, and the sale, of ice from said source. No ice shall be stored
in an unclean place, handled in an unclean manner, nor brought into con-
tact with polluted water. The State Board of Health shall be empowered
to make and enforce such rules and regulations as it may deem proper
regarding the selection and care of sources of ice supply and the methods
employed in harvesting, manufacturing, storing and handling ice.
An. Code, sec. 284. 1914, ch. 810, sec. 16.
343. All such records as may be required by the State Board of Health
shall be kept by Counties, municipalities, districts, corporations, companies
