KEARNY HEALTH

Iy Is Declared to Be
jt : Contagious,

mineonatorium-it's conta-
gious. The Kearny Board of Health
says so. Those who know say it's
worse to pronounce than it is to suf-
fer. To properly pronounce the name
of this disease see that the juxtapo-
sition of your physiognony muscles
develop a smile. ..z....
After Secretary Bornemann had at
tempted several times to give the
name of the malady he was told it
might be a much easier proposition
to whistle it. Other members tried to
get their tongues around the word. or
rather jumblipg of letters. Failure
marked each attempt. The best the
commissioners could do was to break
into a smile after they had piped
the first syllable. .-=.tusst -
r They tried it as a solo. and then n
chorus. Each time the result was the
samoa prolonged litter. In any
event, the board said ophthalmi-
moratorium is contagious; but it's
preventable, and Kearny physicians
will be instructed to notify the board
of any case that might come to their
attention. A penalty in the form of a
fine is provided for failure to report
the disease.
One of the leading men of the town
asked today if doctor would not
sooner pay a fine than write out the
word. which, after all, is a disease OF
the eye. ~ fr.

Kearny Board of Health Acts
-, With Dispatch.

1t took just one minute TO rescind
a resolution. pass a second one, and
restore the first one. at a meeting last
night of the kearny Board of Health.
A resolution passed some time ago
by the board provided that the board
would not pay for tests made. Last
night an Arlington physician wrote
he had been compelled TO call upon
the, Newark authorities. He explained
he had sent to the State Board of
Health to have the test made, but the
State board was so dilatory he was
compelled to appeal to the Newark
authorities.
The physician explained that if the
board so decided he would collect the
cost of the test, which was 81, from
the patient. Members explained the
patient was in poor circumstances
Commissioner Robert V. England
moved the original resolution be
rescinded. This was done. He then
moved that the bill be paid. This
was done. His next motion was tc
restore the original resolution. This
too, was done.
At the meeting Health Inspector
Henry V. zimmerman submitted a
lengthy and well-compiled report, foI
which he was commended. The deaths
in the town for the year totaled 1872

AUTO FIRE ENGINE
MAY Be KIDNAPPED
Orange Board Would Insure
Apparatus, but Mayor Sey-
\, mour Has Scruples. ~

Oranges fire commission is taking
no chances on some bold burglar
stealing the city's brand new fire ap-
paratus from the Garfield street
headquarters, especially in these days
when automobile thieves are preying
upon honest owners of vehicles. But
the efforts to insure the $500 ma
chine against thieves evidently finds
no favor with Mayor Arthur Sey-
monr, and that official, 1t was learned
this afternoon, has called a special
meeting of the commission for Mon
day morning TO ask some questions
about an expenditure of $4o3.75 for
insurance placed with a local agent
for two companies. The automobile
apparatus was insured with con
Germ having an employers indemnity
title for $1,000 to 1000 per year at a
cost of $3.50. The mayor. it is un-
derstoodS has taken the stand that,
under the policy. the city is not in
sured for what happens during the
driving of the automobile to fires.
hence his refusal to approve this
item.
The second policy is with an auto
mobile insurance company for the
full value of the car, at yearly ex-
pense of S123.75. The policy. how
ever contains a clause that the in
surance against fire and theft Of the
car and its parts does not operate
while the vehicle is on it's way to a
fire or while it remains standing dur
ing work at a fire. The mayor has
an opinion that the only other times
the rig may be kidnapped or its parts
removed by thief is while it is in
the headquarters fre-house.
surely it is well enough watched
then by the company members to
prevent thief from taking it or
tampering with it" continued the
mayor today.

Whack at kearny
Organization.

For the second time within a week
the .Kearny Civic. Alliance was as
sailed last night This time it was
at meeting of the Kearny Board of
Health. The alliance, it appears, has
been in communicat tlon. several times
with the health board relative to the
possible pollution of the drinking
water.
The health authorities have given
the matter the closest attention and
even journeyed to the intake at Little
Falls and inspected the filtration
plant there. The opinion among the
members was that the plant was
thoroughly sanitary. With these facts
in mind, Health Commissioner Robert
V. England, after a communication
from the alliance had been read, de-
clared. the letter should be laid on the
table.
why does this organization keep
picking on the town. asked Eng
land. ",fhay are constantly coming
before us on this water question, and
they know only too we'll we are work
ing hard tn, keep the quality of the
water up to its present high stand
ard. If we pay any attention to
this organization we'll have commu-
nications here every day in the
week." concluded Mr.. England
The final disposition of the matter
was that Secretary Bornemann was
TO notify the alliance the
board is working in. conjunction with
other boards to prevent any possible
pollution.

PROPOSE STRICTER RULES
FOR INSURING VESSELS

Strict9r rules for the insurance of
ocean going vessels are proposed by
The London underwriters, who have
been moved to action by the rise in
the cost Of ship repairs and building
ana the generally unsatisfactory
year experienced by marine insur-
ance interests.
One Of the forward steps taken by
the rnderTriters is q provision that
all policies on steamers must con-
tain clause limiting the amount
effected on disbursements to 10 per
cent. of the insured value. The chief
interest in this from the layman's s
point OF view is that it goes right to
r.le roots of the so-called over-in-
surance which has figured so largely
during the past few years in British
wreck inquiries
