EMPLOY A MAN
TO KILL RATS
Health Board Decides on
Method for determination.

If the plans of the Board of Health
materialize Perth Amboy In the near
future will have an official pied Pr
per of Hamelin." The commission
ers in session last night decided to
abandon the bounty idea for extermi-
mating the rats for the time being
and appointed a committee of three
to handle the situation. The mem
bers seemed to favor an official rat
catcher to kill the rodents by his
own method instead of having the
city at large working for prizes.
According to the rules of the
State Board of Health no ships hail
ing from foreign ports are supposed
to unload cargo by night, except
when a special inspector is in charge.
At the present time boats at the
Barber Asphalt Works engage in this
practice and it may be necessary for
the local Board of Health to appoint
an inspector to work with the crew
by night. In such a case the ex-
penses will have to be forwarded by
the at whose plant the cargo
Is being unloaded. Before any ac-
ton is taken the officials of the Bar
Der Asphalt will be conferred with.
Commissioner Leo Schwartz in
troduced a resolution asking the
State Board of Health to reinspect
all diaries in this vicinity Saturday,
August 8. After d~eliberation the
resolution was adopted. Hereafter
all reports received by this board
on all Investigations by the inspec-
tors and DR.. A. P. Lubach will be
made public.
1t was decided to prosecute plumb
ers who do work in this city without
first submitting their plans to thte
board.
The report from State Board Of
Health shows that THE water used
In this city is in good condition.
Commissioner Sell reported the
changes being made In the rule
book. Copies of the alterations will
be sent to the members of the board
and final action will be taken at the
next session.

Wisdom and Virtue.

Wisdom, too great to be translated
Into action Is a contradiction of words.
For wisdom is only knowing what one
ought to do next. Virtue Is doing 1t.
Virtue and enjoyment have never
been far apart from one another. To
know and to do is the basis Of the
highest service. Those the world has
the right to honor are those who have
found enough to do, The fields are al
ways white to their harvest."-David
