The Board of Health may destroy any infected clothing, bedding or other article which cannot be made safe by disinfection, and shall furnish to the owner thereof a receipt, of which it shall keep a full and accurate copy, for articles so destroyed, which receipt shall show the number, character, condition and estimated value of the articles destroyed. When a building, but or other structure has become infected with smallpox or other dangerous communicable disease, and cannot, in the opinion of the Board, be made safe by disinfection, the Board may have such building, but or other structure appraised and destroyed.
