the fact is difficult. Naturally writing

Cook would probably not demand that

Health Board Committee Passes
Upon Question of Tuber-
culosis Dispensary

That tuberculosis dispensary in a
densely populated district is not a
menace to public health was the YER
dict of the sanitation and legislation
committee of the health board yester-
day, this decision being the direct out
come Of the controversy between the
Jackson street association and the San
Francisco Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The latter organization, composed of
some of the leading personages in the
city, met with strong opposition on the
part of the property owners In Jack
son street in their effort to install a
tuberculosis dispensary in Jackson
street between Polk and Larkin. The
property owners maintained that a dis.
pensary of that character was a public
menace, while the others held that
Tar from being danger to public
health 1t would be public benefit.
The property owners finally brought
the question to an issue by asking the
board OF supervisors to pass an ordi-
nance prohibiting the conducting of
Such dispensaries in populated dis
tricts of the city. The ordinance was
referred to the health board
The final contest took place yester-
day afternoon. John NJ. Burnett, rep
resenting the property owners, de-
clared his side was willing to let the
question go to a decision upon It's mer-
its. DIR. George II. Evans, represent
ing the tuberculosis society, in a brief
speech pointed out that such dispensa-
ries We're being conducted with great
advantage to public health in other
cities of the country, and the commit
tee. in its decision, found in his favor.
The decision of the committee of the
health board is in the nature of a rec
ornmendation, and the probabilities are
that the board of supervisors will base
any action in accord with it.
