Mr.. Macfarland's Comment.

Commissioner Macfarland, who has su-
pervision of the health department. said
today that 1t was mistake to suppose.
as had been stated, that the inspection
and prosecution of restaurants and lunch
rooms had not been made prior to the
present time.
Records would show, he says, that such
inspection and prosecution had been made
from time to time. especially during the
past two years, and particularly since the
Commissioners, on his motion. enacted
the regulation of April 5, 1907. requiring
the registration of eating places, which
enabled the health department to keep
track of them.
The trouble was, he said. that until July
the health department had not been
able, for lack of force, to put inspectors
specially upon this particular kind OF in
vestigation.
Congress at the last session. upon the
urgent representations by the Commits
sioners Of the need Of ten additional in
spectors for the health department. gave
two more: The appropriation became
available July /.
This made it possible for the health de-
partment to make a systematic investf-
cation Of eating places with the results
already made public. He said, however,
that it would be impracticable to syste-
maticaliy enforce All the laws and regula.
tons without additional inspectors. Even
now. he said, there were only ten SAM
tary and food inspectors for the whole
District of Columbia.
Besides asking for additional sanitary
and food inspectors. the Commissioners
asked for additional milk inspectors and
also for special inspectors to enforce the
weed law and other laws requiring the
exclusive attention of inspectors, but
these were not granted by Congress.
