What it required
Every local board of health had to prohibit and abate 'all causes of disease' injurious to the inhabitants' health, at the owner's expense; local boards could define nuisances by ordinance (26:3-45), license and regulate the sanitary conditions of restaurants and other public eating houses (26:3-31(c)), and prescribe penalties of $5 to $500 for violating a health ordinance or code (26:3-70).
