USE OF SOFT

Health Board Gets After
Rapid Transit.

Following complaints filed with
Dr.. Ernest ]. Lederle, president of
the Health Department of the city
Of New York, against locomotives of
the Staten Island Rapid Transit
using soft coal on the Amboy divi-

coal was the cause of the use Of
soft coal on the railroad here. So
many complaints were filed with the
Department of Health that the COM
missioner took prompt action and
stopped the use Of the soft coal at
once.
