Following is the reply Of the
Board of Health to Mr.. Gear.
respecting the Office Of inspector
of food:
ain reply l would state that the
Board of Health has had under
consideration the matter of in
spectlon of food, but has not made
a request for specific appropri
alton for the inspector. 1t was
deemed by the Board that for the
coming period occasional inspec
tons and for specific purposes
would probably be sufficient.
mo additional law or regula-
ton has been proposed by the
toard of Health. 1t was consi-
dered that the existing law in re
gard to the control over causes of
disease or sickness would be suffi-
cient for the present poses.
"If, however, it is considered
best to have thorough and sys
tematic inspection of all food sup
plies, it would he Dece -sary to
have a regular paid inspector and
more ample provision in regard
to his duties"
