HAS CASE

Steps to maintain pure milk
supply to the city and to rid the
community Of pigs and cows, except
ing In isolated places, were taken
up at regular meeting of the
Board of Health last night. Plans
for an automobile tour the coming
weekend were discussed. 1t is pro-
posed to spend day investigating
conditions Of dairies in and about
the city.
Attention Of the commissioners
has been called to the fact that a
number of dairies are not in the
proper condition and Deputy Inspec-
tor Frost reported he found numer-
Gus pigs and cows in the northern
part Of the city. He told of finding
thirty-four pigs and four cows on a
single street in what Is commonly
called Budapest" in North Amboy.
These roamed yards and the street
and their owners did not have the
proper permits. Records of the own
ers and addresses were taken and
they will be compelled to comply
with the law or submit to prosecu-
ton.
President Kaletsch and Commits
sioner Kennedy, who were on an in
spection trip of dairies last Sunday,
made report of their findings last
night. 1t was reported that a milk
dealer named Delaney, in Wood
bridge township, had an impure wa
ter supply on his place. Isaac
Flood, another dealer in the same
township, they said, complained that
Delaney threw waste matter into a
brook which was used to water cows.
The Woodbridge Board Of Health
has been notified to deal with the
latter case.
Plan To Buy Auto.
Plans for purchasing an automo-
bile for health board work were dis-
cussed. One commissioner stated 1t
would be cheaper than a horse and
wagon in the end. The subject arose
after the supply committee had been
empowered to procure rubber tires
and have repairs made to the board s
wagon. The harness was also Or
dered kept in good repair.
Wertheim's Place Approved.
1t was reported that plans for a
Wertheim's proposed new slaughter
house have been approved by the
State Board of Health and permis-
sion given him to proceed with its
construction.
Applications were received from
Philip Ernst to keep pigs and to col
lect swill. The permit to keep pigs

OF an inspection to be made. A per-
NIT was also granted to collect swill,

tary code covering the operation are
adhered to.
