FROM SELLING
Health Board Censures In
spectors For Not Report
ing Contagious Case
MAYOR CALLS ON DR.. lUND
TO MAKE DIAGNOSIS

In Its efforts to maintain a pure
and healthful supply of milk
throughout this city, the Board Of
Health last night stopped one dealer
from selling milk and acted in the
case of another dealer, whose IL
cense had previously been revoked.
Michael Bark was prohibited from
selling milk until a case of alleged
contagious disease in his family has
been Investigated. Isaac Flood,
another dealer, was given a tempo
rary permit to sell, with the undcr-
standing that his place and wax
be cleaned and made presentable
within two weeks.
The board Is determined In It's eff
forts to allow only pure milk to be
sold In this city and to this end its
various committees are working en-
ergetically. A deputy inspector was
criticized by the commissioners last
night because he failed to report
that Michael Bark was selling milk.
Differ On Diagnosis.
A case Of disease. supposed to be
contagious, exists In the Bark
home, In Cleveland avenue. Two To-
cal doctors differ in opinions as to
exact diagnosis OF the case. When
the matter was talked over last
night, the inspector service of the To-
cal board came up for criticism, be-
cause State Health inspector had
notified the local board of the case.
Mayor Bollschweiler, who was pres
ent, together with other officials.
took hand in the discussion and
he recommended that DIR. J. l..
Lund, the officially appointed health
officer of the city, be called In to
| diagnose the case; that his decision
be final and that the board act ac-
cordingly. The recommendation was
| accepted and DR.. Lund was notified
today to make an inspection. IT,.
The milk and food committee will
act on the health officers report. In
the meanwhile, Bark must sell no
milk. He owns four cows. which he
claims produce seventeen quarts of
milk a day. Six or seven quarts, he
| asserts, are sold and the remainder
is kept for his household use.
Mayor BollschWeiler said he called
DR.. Lund In on the case, because he
believed 1t the health officers duty
to act in matters of this kind. He
said that was just what the position
was for.
Isaac Flood and a brother, who
keep a cow stable on a road between
Woodbridge and Menlo Park, ap-
peared last night and reported that
improvements are under way. Their
license to vend milk In this city was
revoked a week ago. A temporary
permit to sell was granted, with the
understanding that the COW stable,
straining room, etc, be improved
according to state laws and that
clean and sanitary rig be used.
Freight Station Nuisance.
A. Goldman, who was recently
given a permit to collect fat and
bones in this city, appeared before
! the board last night relative to an
alleged nuisance at the Lehigh VAL
ley freight station in New Bruins
wick avenue. The nuisance result
ed from barrels of fat and bones
stored at the depot by Mr.. Goldman.
They created an obnoxious stencil
and were a menace to health, ac-
cording to certain health commits
sioners, who made an inspection last
week. Mr. Goldman stated the nuis-
ance had been abated last Thursday,
when he started to place the barrels
directly in freight cars, without
storage at the freight station. He
said three layers Of ice are put in
each of the barrels, which, he
claims, are tightly sealed.
