Sometime ago the, TRIBUNE earnestly
urged upon the village authorities the
great Necessity of appointing board OF
health, and u>e,i good argument to show
the Importance of prompt action. How
ever, nothing has been done, and again we
nSk that the n:w council take such imme
dilic action in the premises as are necrs-
sary for the protection and benefit of our
people. In urging the Importance Of
prompt action we are not using the tactics
Of an larmi>t on the contrary, the dan
