FINES GO TO
HEALTH BOARD
Money Collected for Violations
Not for City Treasury.

= Through their special counsel,
Jacob Joselson, the health
learned at its meeting last night that
all the fines which + imposed in
the district court because of COM
plants of the board should be given
to that body instead of being turned
into the city treasury, as it is be-
lieved has been the ease heretofore.
Lawyer Joselson represented the
local health board in a district court
in Jersey City Thursday and won a
case against C. C. Cunningham, of
that place, who has a property in
this city. The fine imposed was $40
and that, with an additional fee or
SIS which was paid by the defendant
as expenses for the suit, was given
to the local attorney for the health
board. In referring to the laws OF
the state the special attorney in
formed the local commissioners that
their body should receive all fines
imposed in the district court. An
attempt will likely be made to learn
how much money the city Golfers
hold which belongs to the health
board and If ascerta1ned an effort
Will pIOpdUi1 pO Dhao0 w shAS
money procured.
BY a thorough investigation OF
the bakeries in this city, Inspector
MikaIajcsak found that many were
in bad condition. Those complained
against were ordered to clean up
within a given time or close their
shops.
j.. s. Hanson, OF New Brunswick
avenue, who was summoned to an
swer a charge of having procured q
permit In behalf of an un-
licensed New York plumber, admit
ted the charge and his case was
given to the judiciary committee for
disposal. As ME-. Hanson stated
while he had little Or nothing to do
with the work in question, he was
receiving a fee for allowing the use
Of his permit and also stood respon-
sible to the local health board for
the Job. Because of this fact It Is
likely that no action can be taken
against him.
A complaint was made by a neigh
resident that a nuisance was
caused from 498 Brace avenue. The
board promised an inspection In this
matter.
The secretary was ordered to reply
to a communication received from
Herman Ellfs, against whose proper
ty at 451 New Brunswick avenue a
complaint has been made.
1t was reported that Jacob Peter
son, of 383 Neville street, was doing
plumbing work without having been
granted a permit. This matter was
given to the judiciary committee.
The judiciary committee reported
that disposal was made of the fol-
lowing suits: John l.. Mundy, tned
$40 and costs; Mike Haremza, fined
SIS and costs; and J. J. Cunningham,
of Jersey City, fined $40 and costs.
