Oskaloosa is to have a new de-
partment of public health that is to
be as much of an organization as the
police or the fire department. Doctor
Mark F. Boyd, of Iowa City, will be
the new health officer and the city
will pay him $1,000 per annum. The
new department is to be properly
housed in the new municipal building
and is to be equipped and furnished
In suitable manner.
Mahaska County Medical Society
was represented at the meeting by
large delegation of the members and

new move was decided upon. 1t will

fully in accord with the movement
The Petition.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of Oskaloosa: Believing with
Doctor Frost that the city OF oska'
Iloosa has reached a period IN us
growth where the services OF an ex'
pert bacteriologist and pathologist are
essential to it's health and prosperity,
and believing that such an Official
should not be engaged in private prac-
tice, but should be free from all inter
ests or influences except those that
have to do with his potion guardian
of the public health, we, members OF
the Mahaka County Medical Society,
respectfully petition the mayor and
council to set apart a room In the new
city hall to be used as Municipal La
boratory and that the service OF com
petent man be secured to act as city
Bacteriologist and Health Officer.
We believe that the city could well
afford to pay such an official $4,000 a
year and that the saving to business
alone, not to mention the sickness,
and suffering and death, which Will re-
suit from the prevention OF epidemics
of contagious diseases will average
more than that amount. But under
the plan which we would suggest we
believe that the services OF such al
expert can be secured at an expense
to the city of approximately $1,2OO.OO

to do the meteorological and patholo
gical work for the three hospitals AID

ORDINANCE To Be
CONSIDERED TODAY
Rooming House Measure Is
Special Order for City
Commission.

The rooming house ordinance will be
brought before the city commission this
morning for passage on a special order
and it is expected that considerable
argument will be occasioned before the
roll is called on the measure.
1t is said that Attorneys George
Meyer and A. s. Dalton have notified
the commission that they will appear,
representing the owners Of rooming
houses, to protest TO the passage Of the
enactment.
The main argument which has been
brought against the ordinance is the
provision which gives the chief Of po.
lice the power to make IN inspection of
the premises at any time, and further,
that the measure requires the rooming
house Keepers to have register of ev-
cry guest open for public inspection at
all times.
The measure provides that the appli-
can't for license TO operate a rooming
house must furnish to the commi ssion
a written statement giving the name of
the actual landlord, the location of the
house, the number of rooms and wheth-
er government liquor license is owned
by the proprietor or by any one OF the
guests living in the house,
The chief of police is then designated
to make an investigation covering the
previous reputation of the applicant
and his previous record in the rooming
house business, On the chief 8 recon-
mendation the commission may or may
not grant the license. If at any time
the chief of police brings charges
against the occupants Of the premises
the license may be revoked by the com
mission after hearing of the case
has been had
Violation of any Of the provisions Of
the ordinance upon conviction thereof
in the city courts is considered suffi-
cient cause for revocation.
The measure also prescribes the
amount of license which shall he col
lected for the various sized rooming
houses.

Il at the Salt Palace promises to be

Manager Nelson has planned pro-
gramme of amusements for the after

ately following.
The amusement features at the park

principal attraction, and some other
concessions are in the group. Decora-
tions in national colors will be con
spicuous about the grounds and upon
all buildings. The dance pavilion win

In little boats watching the ship i'm
mediatelv started to the rescue Power
boats and every other kind Of craft at
the resort were brought into use, and
soon a hundred boats were beating
their way out over the rough waters Of
the inlet bar.
When the first boats reached the
scene of the wreck the rescuers found
only the collapsed gas bag, and, after
search, a submerged body, which
proved to be that of the younger Van
imam, was recovered.
Among the first on the scene were
the federal life savers stationed in At
lantic City. Divers went down to the
wreck, but there was little that could
be done until low tide, when BourriI-
lion s body was discntangled from the
wreck and brought ashore.

Mrs. Vaniman saw the collapse of
the balloon and its drop into the ocean
