REFERRED TO ATTORNEY.
Commissioners Want Powers O.
Health inspectors Defined.

At the request of Health Officer Wood
ward the Commissioners have asked Cor
poration Counsel Thomas for legal deter
mination of the question of just how far the
health office inspectors can proceed in cases
where they are baked by agents for prop
erty in the regular execution of their duties.
A case in point was cited out of report
made to Health Officer Woodward Wednes-
day by Inspector G. F. Simpson. The latter
said that C. M. Forrest, agent for the prop
erty at $50 4th street northeast, refused to
turn over the keys of the house to him to
have an inspection made of the premises;
that he made second call upon Mr.. For
rest in company with police officer. and
when the agent still refused to give up the
keys the policeman made an arrest. When
the case came up in the Police Court, the
report continued, Assistant Corporation
Counsel Pugh explained to the court that
the case came under a regulation which
made 1t an offense for any one to hinder an
inspector in the discharge of his duties. The
charge against Mr.. Forrest, however, was
dismissed.
