MILK BELOW PAR
HEALTH BOARD TO
WARN DEALERS.
Pollution of Branch Of Railway by Hat
Factories Is Again Com
planned Of.

Samples secured from several milk deal
ers delivering In Orange during the past
month have proven unsatisfactory and
at the meeting Of the Orange Board of
Health last night Health Inspector Eugene
II. Sullivan was authorized to write to
the dealers complained of that there was
a possibility of their licenses being re-
voked unless an improvement was shown.
The number of bacteria In several samples
was innumerable.
The pollution of the stream that is a
tributary of the Railway River by acids,
said to be emitted from the No Name hat
factory. also received consideration. The
State Sewage Commission has ordered that
the pollution must cease. An inspection of
the brook will be made by officials OF the
board. and unless conditions are remedied,
II was announced. an effort will be made
to have the Chancellor issue an order
compelling action to stop the further
emptylng of acids into the stream. Presi-
dent Richards said several of the hat fac
tories had been guilty, usually closing up
the outlets with a wooden plug when
criticism was voiced, and after complaints
had ceased. the plugs were released.
Health Officer Sullivan reported tina
during the month there were reported
fever. seven of typhoid fever and three of
tuberculosis One case of diphtheria and
one of typhoid, with ten of tuberculosis.

were reported. In his report Mr.. Sullivan
stated there seemed to be a noticeable
laxity in the matter of reporting cases of
tuberculosis by physicians. and be recon-
mended that the physicians tending to
any such cases be compelled to report
them. Two school rooms, one In the Park
Avenue and the other in the Lincoln Ave-
nue. School, were funIigated during the
month owing to ar outbreak of contagious
diseases among the pupils.
Tha fnflraHa r. "a rhxrafa5an - 49, =
case of typhoid fever in st. Mary's Hos
pital was considered and 1t was decided to
conduct an investigation into the affair. A
South Orange physician was first believed
to have been guilty of the violation, but
he reported by telephone that the patient
had not been taken to the institution by
him and was convalescing when he took
charge Of the ward In the hospital where
the caee existed.
Five possible cases OF pollution at the
watershed were examined. Three were re-
moved and work on the other two are un-
der way.
No further action on the establishing of a
Joint crematory was taken. It is thought
that all the municipalities first interested
in the establishment of the proposed plant
do not avo the plan now.
