HEALTH BOARD ON
PURITY CRUSADE
ALL DAIRYMEN MUST OBEY
THE LAW
Members Will Visit More Dairies Un-
expectedIy to See That Clean
Illness Prevails Among
Ranches

In a few days the board of health
will make a quiet auto trip into the
dairying sections around Los Angeles
to get personal knowledge Of condi-
tions.
On a Sunday several weeks ago ten
dairies were examined and the dras-
tic scoring these dairymen got still
fingers in the minds of the milk trade
men.
Mayor Harper's board has determined
to insist on pure milk. 1t has added
to its force of inspectors and called Of
tenders to trial to emphasize the cam
paign.
Inspectors who appeared before the
board Wednesday afternoon announced
that by the next meeting they ex-
pected to summon half dozen dairy
men at whose places fragrant viola
tions of the law had been noted.
DIR. L. M. Powers, health officer, is
making personal inspection here and
there and keeps his auto going into
places unexpectedly to learn actual
conditions.
One common cause of complaint at
dairies is that milk houses are not
screened against flies. When cesspools
or vaults are nearby there is great
danger of contagion being carried. Only
recently a number of typhoid cases
were traced to flies which had passed
between an outhouse and a milk
house, the patients being consumers of
this milk.

MAYOR HOLDS UP
THREE NEW BILLS
DOUBTS THE WISDOM OF TWO
HOSPITAL HEADS
Thinks Billboard Inspector Should BE
Created Under New Law--ls Dis
bursting officer Necessary
for outfall sewer7

Three newly passed ordinances are
being studied by Mayor A. G. Harper,
and he may hold them the full limit be-
fore he signs or rejects them.
They apply to billboards, receiving
hospital and the outfall sewer disburs-
ing agent.
The hitch on the billboard law grows
out Of the fact that the council took out
the section requiring that notice be
given all property owrfers in the block
before boards are erected, so that they
may have an opportunity to appear be-
fore the police board and protest. The
billboard men had contended that this
notice giving was an expensive job for
them, as some billboards only paid
profit of a few dollars year, and they
thought it hardship.
Mayor Harper thinks the ordinance
which he fathered providing for the
appointment Of a billboard inspector
should be passed If the council expects
him to sign the present bill
In regard to the receiving hospital
BILL which provides for the perpetual
tion of the two-headed system, strong
pressure is being brought to bear on
the mayor not to sign it. The Munich
pal league forces are working against
the double boss system. Others are tell
ing the mayor that the Republican
councilmen merely paid a political debt
in passing the bill in such form. Drs.
Garrett and Quint have already been
specified as the prospective police sur
geons in chief.
The disbursing agent appointment is
held up because the mayor is not satis-
fled that such an officer is necessary.
The pay is high and it is charged the
work was formerly done by a clerk
who received half the proposed salary.

bring six members Of the company be-
fore the fire commission next Thursday
to explain matters.
Battalion Chief Charles B. Casey filed
formal charges against Lieut.. L. H.
Davis yesterday, and through this the
story leaked out. The lieutenant and
his men played poker one night and
kept up the game till o'clock in the
morning, 1t is alleged. One Of the
poker players went out doors and bor-
rowed money from patrolman to stay
in the game.
1t is alleged that on a previous occa-
sion Davis had played. This violation
of the rules put him at the mercy OF
the men, and necessarily he could no
longer enforce discipline In the quar-
ters after that. Davis tried to get a
transfer so that in another house he
might start with clean slate, but the
commission preferred to try the
charges.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY FINDS
1T is SELF SUPPORTING

At the annual session of the directors
of the Congregational Home Missionary
society of Southern California yester-
day at the Federation Coffee club re-
ports were read showing that the soci-
ETY. was justified in the belief that 1t
was self-supporting.
Heretofore the money collected in
Southern California for church extern
sion work was sent to the national
congregational society headquarters in
New York for distribution. During the
past year this society has raised 1924, 900
for CONGREGATIONAL interests in South
ern California. This includes money
for college, church, parsonage and mis-
sionary purposes.
1t was shown at this meeting that
there are ninety Congregational
churches in Southern California ana
that there are outside fields not yet de-
veloped.
During the past year $1,000 was
raised for home missionary work. Ten
new churches have been organized ana
there are forty-seVen self-supporting
churches in Southern California.
For foreign missions $4,000 has been
raised, and among other improvements
during the year is a church costing
S25. 600 and a Carnegie library is being
built to cost $4,000 with the same
amount of endowment.
The officers who have brought this
TO such a successful close are; Rev,
George e. Sober ID. d., Pomona, presi-
dent; Rev. John Il. Male, Las Ange-
les, secretary; f, II: Herriek' Riverside
treasurer.
