COUNCIL WORRIES
over SANITATION

Severe criticism of the city school
beard was voiced in the council
chamber last night by the mayor and
aldermen. over the negligence of the
school board in failing to provide
sanitary improvements at the Column
bian school building on the south
side. Several months ago at the re-
quest of the school board the city
laid a sewer line but the school
board. it was declared. had never
caused n connection to be made al
though the material had been on the
ground for months. Last night Al
derman Kahn of the First Ward as
serted that the conditions were very
bad at the Columbian school. and
part of the city had probably been
due to the lack of sanitary improve
mcnts for the children attending
school. The city marshal was in
structcd to notify the school board
to have the school connected with
the sewer and the improvements in
stalled.
LOOKING directly to the health of
the public the city council also or
dered that the five and ten cent
show houses be fumigated at least
once Il week. The city physician in
his monthly report stated that the
moving picture houses were continu-
ally crowded and that Inadequate
ventilation was provided The city
that the owners and managers of thc
show houses comply with the ruling
of the board of health.
