"SORE HEADS" SAY
HEALTH INSPECTORS

That the changes In the personnel of
the Chief Sanitary inspectors stan
were made In the interest Of harmony
Is the statement made by some Of the
chasers of disease germs.
Apparently, for some time there
was spirit of unrest in the depart.
ment, some of the inspectors feeling
that they had been sighted In the way
Of promotion, and others believing that
incompetents were standing In their
way. II was finally decided that a
complete reorganization was necessary
in order to make the corps efficient,
and an investigation was therefore
made.
According to the story that has
leaked out, each inspector was given
a chance to speak for himself and all
who had any complaint, either against
their superiors, or against the manner
In which business was conducted, were
given II hearing.
Some of those who are out, are
avowedly after the scalps of some
who are in, claiming that the action
OF the powers that be was induced by
representations made by favored ones,
Those against whom the eX.lnspectors
level their lances, say that the dis,
missed ones are sore and seeking re,
venge.

Of Health, nothing exciting came up,

alteration of crushing apparatus so as
to handle the crushers either as one

mill improvements might have been

the fact remains that 1905 was pros.

INCREASE
Gross Business for 1910 Is
100000 and About $118,
100000 in Excess Of Last

It is of great interest to Gary citi-
zens to know that the gross business
of the United States Steel Corporation
for 1909 viii be about ssOO.oOo.Ooo, or
s11S,Oo0. 900 in excess of 1908. The
past, as well as the orders for 1910 al
ready IN hand. have encouraged the
management to believe that next years
total will reach ss5O.Ooo, 600
The net will be approximately sI33. :
600, 000 This compared with $91.S47, 71O
last year. Consequently it is assumed
that dividend payments in 1910 Will be
much larger AS an example. the divi-
