In the otit yesterday circulating
among his many friends who discuss

CITY SOLICITOR
GETS In RIGHT
DR.. Cleaver Explains to Health
Beard Why Brady'S Opinion
Was Delayed

DR.. H. A. Cleaver made his promis-
ed explanation to the Board of Health
yesterday exonerating City Solicitor
Brady from blame for delay in sub
hitting an opinion to the board con-
corning excavating companies. Dr.
Cleaver said he would offer an apol-
ogy for Mr.. Brady, since Mr. Biady
had given him this opinion orally.
and that he (Dr Cleaver) was to have
reported it to the board last week
1t was simply a matter Of pre-occu-
patton, DR.. Cleaver explained, the
meat regulation having taken his at
tention and causing him to forget to
report the opinion.
A letter from Mr.. Brady was then
read giving a similar explanation.
With the letter was a written opinion
informing the board that II had power
to stop the dumping Of refuse by ex-
cavating companies if detrimental to
health.
