. The Board of Health held

room in the city hall addition last
night, at which they got down to
actual business and demanded that
their present code be enforced in its
entirety.
The discussions on the various
subjects, among which were the milk
license question, plumbers, and i'm
pure ice matters, were lengthy. but,
unlike former ones, they were thrash
ed out to the end and definite action
taken in every case.
The inspector and deputy inspector
were notified to secure evidence in
certain cases where plumbers were
doing work withouta permit from the
board. They were instructed to give
such evidence, together with the
names OF seven plumbers, to the
city attorney for prosecution. The

Company, Theodore Zangenberg,
William Haffner and P. ], Monaghan.

say that the health board was only
a joke, and he was In favor of PROV
ing to the plumbers and public that
such is not the case.
= Need Another Inspector.
The matter of fulfilling the work
of the board by carrying out the
rules in the code was discussed at
length. 1t was made known that the
board needs another Inspector and
even two more deputies, IL possible.
Inspector Fithian said that the health
board is considered one of the most
important boards in every part of the
state and he could not see why the
public library should secure $4,000

work with. He considered this city's
health above everything else. even
the education of children.
The members of the board seemed
In favor of having part of the SER
vices of the new building inspector,
whom the aldermen propose to ap-

Quick and Kreielsheimer were nam

mayor and council in regard to this
matter and also for getting funds
to pay an extra inspector.

In regard to inspecting tenement
houses and plumbers work, it was

named for five years.
The inspector stated that this city
received special mention in the tene-

Sveral times 1t was stated that it was
impossible for Deputy Brewster to
take care of the city's health condi-
tion and at the same time look after
plumbing work and tenement house
construction.
Former President Main, in a rath-

self on the question. He stated that
1t was better that the inspectors let
pigs roam the streets and let similar
minor matters drop and take up i'm

inspector could easily do that.

brought up and Mr.. Main was named
as a committee of one to confer with
the city attorney about drawing up
an amendment to the code and city
ordinances, requiring that all milk
venders in this city be licensed and

up for its first reading at the next
meeting. In this matter the local
