Insanitary Ships.
rom Shipping illustrated

From Shipping Illustrated.
DIR. Howard Jones. medical officer OF
the Newport, Mon, Port Sanitary Au-
thority, in his annual report. says that
although the British board of trade had
laid down certain minimum requirements
in respect to cubic space and sanitary
new vessels frequently ar
rive at Newport which contravene even
the inadequate requirements of the de-
partment In the merchant service. he
says. every ship has its own standard of
hygiene. DR.. Jones adds: I'm my opin-
ion, there is no question as to the in
adequacy and obsoleteness of the health
preserving regulations of the board of
trade. which department is intrusted with
the housing of sailors. Other maritime
nations are waking up in this matter. In
particular, Norway and Denmark are
ahead of us in respect to marine hygiene
Marine hygiene is an undeveloped science.

sponsible for the construction and super
