lie required 10 have running hot water.
| At the meeting Of the Board Of Health
yesterday two delegations of BARRIERS
representing each facticn, appeared be.
fore the board and there was a lively
argument as to whether the new rulxs
under consideration should require run
ming hot water in the shops.
| Both sides were given hearing and
mt its conclusion, it was decided hy the
| Health Board to defer action until some
Of its members who are now out Of the
| city can be consulted.
Arthur G.. Preston and Walter X.
Coale Of the BARRIERS Examining Board
land NJ. Iahi.owe were present in the
interests of the rules as adopted by the
|rXanining bonrd some time ago, pro-
viding for running water, while the
Opposition was represented by Charles
/ III. Bchringer. Charles III. Boyle and
Charles A. Won.
The BARRIERS examining board will prob
lally drop the matter altogether. The
objection oi some of the BARRIERS to hay
ing running hot water is that ii would be
to expensive. They say it would cost
from $40 to $50 to have a boiler put in
and water attached and there would also
be much expense in keeping hot water III
