One of the druggists of the city
has informed DR.. Fithian that over
$1,000 worth of antitoxin was sold
by him last year, fact which, ac-
cording to the Inspector, proves that
more caution Is needed here. The
plea of the board is that they hava
not sufficient money, which of course
naturally prevents them from doing
many things that they consider nec-
essary.
Over fifty complaints were report-
ed to the commissioners by the isi>
spector last night.
DR.. F. w. Kitchell reported that
the engine in the Alchin ice cream
parlor made life unbearable In mir
neighborhood, and requested that tA7
board look into the matter. - b
spector will make the necessary In
vestigation.
Another complaint was received
about stable on New Brunswick
avenue kept by a man named Field
man. The Harrington company claim
that the stencil is unbearable and
that the drainage is not sufficient to
carry away the refuse from it. This
was also referred to the inspectors
who will examine it and after August
rs enforce the new code which goes
into effect at that time and contains
clause that will cover the COM
plant.
In regard to complaint about the
dumping of garbage at South First
street, the board decided that this
matter should be given the immedi-
ate attention, and at o'clock tonight
the commissioners will visit the place
accompanied by Inspector Fithian-
Richard Koch Is the complainant-
who reports that his property in that
section is continually menaced by pa
pers and other refuse. So much 9th
er business occupied the boards time
that the North Amboy sewer question
was not brought up, but will be giv-
en- more attention at the next meet-
ing. -.
lengthy discussion took Ace
after the board had adjournM 1and
while the medical school iFs 6ection
was the general topic, President Vic
tor Main stated that he thought other
matters were more important at press
ent, but he finally agreed with the
views of the inspector.
After a number of bills had been
ordered paid the board adjourned
until o'clock tonight.
petition was received from about
twenty property owners in the vicin-
ity of the New Jersey terra Gotta COM
