he began to tinker with it to get it in

DR.. ExtOn Says He Fayors Use

There seems to be considerable doubt
as to whether the Kearny Common
Council will install drinking fountains
in the town, in accordance with the re-
quest of a number of women's societies,
which urge that the fountains are a
public need.
An EVENING STAR reporter asked
Councilman William Greenfield, of the
health committee, today for his opinion
as to the ~advisability of installing the
fountains.
"A number of years. ago." said the
Councilman, II fought hard to have
these fountains removed, on account
Of the disease germs that Turk in them.
After a haro battle the troughs were
ripped out and hydrants placed in their
stead. Each driver had to carry his
w pail, and the danger of disease was
practically done away with.
Il propose to take the matter up
with the Board of Health at its Febru-
airy meeting and see what the members
of that body think of it. l am not in
favor of them"
DR.. James A. Exton. who is physician
of the Kearny Board of Health, ex-
pressed himself as favoring a certain
kind of trough, but he could not be sure
they would be entirely sanitary.
There are none made that are sani-
tary in the exact sense of the word"
lie said: ''but the chance for the spread
of disease is greatly lessened in the
fountain I refer to, because of the fact
that the water run continually"
