REPORT THAT J0HAN
JENSEN HAS REFUSED

1t was learned from an authentic
source today that the letter from
Johan Jensen received by the Board
Of Health at its special meeting
Wednesday night, but not made pub
lie, was al emphatic refusal to COM
ply with the regulations of the de-
partment and an equally vigorous
statement of the writer's intentions
to fight the matter to the last ditch,
IL necessary.
Justus Kaletsch, president OF the
board, has the letter in his possess
sion now, 1t is understood, although
the matter was referred to the COM
mittee on plumbing and sewers,
composed OF Commissioners P. N.
Kennedy and Leo Schwartz. Presi-
dent Kaletseh has refused to make
the communication public.
Mr.. Jensen for some time past, it
Is alleged, has laid sewIrs without
securing the usual permit from the
health department. Action of this
kind the commissioners deem advis-
able to curb, SO legal steps will be
taken at once If the report of In
spector John Kerr Is found to con-
tain information revealing the con-
t1nued disobeyance of the boards
orders by Contractor Jensen.
