Annual Report OF Health Board
Mentions Illness and Death
of Infants.
WILL ENFORCE THE LAW

That great deal of sickness and death
among infants OF the city is due to impure
milk Is charged IN the annual report of the
city Board OF Health, prepared by SAM
tartan Spencer. secretary of the board, and
now almost ready to be submitted to the
mayor. The report says that the board in
tends TO conduct an active campaign
against vendors of impure milk in the in
terest OF the public health, and to see that
the ordinance is strictly enforced, although
It Is not it's intention TO prosecute any milk
dealer.
The report calls attention to the compar-
alive freedom of the city from smallpox
as against the wide prevalence of the dis
ease year ago; states that the new wing
of the City Hospital is now completed and
occupied. and that repairs to the old sec
ton are under consideration; says that the
ctty's water supply Is second TO none in
the country and expresses the boards de-
terminate to enforce the city's anti-spit-
ting ordinance.
One thing TO which the report refers
strongly is the need of a new plumbing ord
nance that will enforce sanitary measures
Upon every section of the city.

AMBULANCE DEPARTMENT
IS SUGGESTED FOR CITY
Complaints Induce Health Board
to Discuss Measures for I'm
provement of Service.
DELAYS ARE. CHARGED

An emphatic protest against the manner
in which the city's ambulances at the City
Dispensary and the City Hospital are man.
aged made to the Board of Public Safe
ty by Superintendent of Police Kruger yes
terday. The superintendent stated that in
a case last Saturday evening, where man
was badly injured on West Washington
street, u patrolman telephoned to both the
Dispensary and the hospital for an ambu-
lance, but that each of the two places re-
ferred him to the other. When an ambu-
lance finally came. from the hospital. it was
just hour and forty minutes from the
time the patrolman first sent in his call
for IT, he said.
This matter referred to the Board
of Health, which discussed ii in a special
meeting last night. DIR. Kimberlin sug-
gested new solution for the difficulty, and
that TO make a department of ambulances
in the city. His proposal is to station both
ambulances at a central point, probably al
the police station, where they will be al
the disposal of the police department, the
City Hospital and the City Dispensary
alike. The proposition discussed al
some length, but no action was taken.

EVANSVILLE MAYOR
TO ASK FOR ENGINE
Executive of City Without Fire
Protection Here on a Peculiar
Mission.

Mayor Covert. of Evansville. who was ex-
pected to appear before the Board of Public
Safety Monday. arrived in Indianapolis last
night. His errand is to ask indianapolis for
the loan Of fire engine to help Evansville
in the emergency with which it is con-
frOnted.
The city is practically without fire pro-
lection. by a combination of circumstances
that made its waterworks pumping station
entirely useless, reducing the city to de
pendance upon an old waterwOrks plant and
a pumping boat. To give Mayor Covert a
hearing, the Board of Public Sofety will
probably be called into special session this
morning. as II was the intention to do Mon
day, when he was first expected.
