This image displays a collection of forms and documents used by local Boards of Health, as described by the label "Schedules used by Local Boards of Health." The layout consists of three main elements:

1. Upper Left Section (Yellow Form):

   • This appears to be a detailed tabular form with entries for buildings listed under the category "BUILDINGS ERECTED" with a range of dates (e.g., August 1, 1897 - June 1, 1914).
   • The form includes columns for specifications regarding the number of stories in buildings, the number of families, and sections for various other details such as plumbing, windows, doors, and other building characteristics.
   • There is space for specific information about construction and infrastructure elements, such as "class of construction," "ventilation," and "street width."

2. Upper Right Section (White Form):

   • This document features official text directed to the "BOARD OF HEALTH, Boston, MA."
   • The text outlines an application process for a permit to occupy rooms described within the basement or cellar of a building. There are fields for entering the applicant's name, address, and other details such as the ward, building location, and intended purpose of the space (e.g., for sleeping or living purposes).
   • The upper section includes an official seal that likely represents the health department.

3. Lower Section (Yellow Grid Sheet):

   • This appears to be a blank or lined grid page, possibly used for handwritten notes or data entry related to inspections.

4. Label at Bottom Right:

   • A shorter description explains the purpose of these forms. It states: "Card used in the investigation of basements by the Health Department of the Board of Health in making inspection of basements used as living quarters. Other schedules are used by the Board to furnish material to buyers of real estate."

The overall layout suggests that these materials were used for systematic inspection, regulatory documentation, and issuing permits for living spaces in basements or other locations under health code standards.
