HEALTH BOARD STIRS FEM UP Awakened Activity May Mean Much If It Is
 Continued
Delayed Prosecution In Bill Case One of Matters
 Commented Upon

The Health Commissioners, persistent in their efforts to bring the sanitary l standards of Bridgeport up to the highest lever again held tight rein on the forces over which they have con- trol and before they adjourned found time to Inemorfalize the Public UtiIi- ties Commission on the subject of dou- ble steps on trolley carss declare the garbage reduction plant a continued nuisance, score the practice of cer- tain Kosher butchers and non-resi- dents in attempting to foist bob veal upon the public without the necessity of meat inspection, report several long standing nuisanees to the prosecuting attorney for legal action and finally lay out summer work for the school nurses.
 The practice of keeping animal re- fuse .fn stables without covers or long CT than a. week at 8 time was discuss ed with reference to it's breeding Of insect pests and condemned. Inspec- tors were ordered to be more watch full than ever before and with the comment by Commissioner w J. Me Laugh1in that the Swat the Fly campaign is beginning at the tail ends each member of the board contributed towards the final ordering that the greatest rigor must be shown in the prosecution of any Stable-man or pr1- vate stable owner who failed to com ply with the regulations and keep p1IS Iul1V CoV0ESo UT LA4O SAO7 bris at least once a week during the summer months.
 At a public hearing a representative of MT. Cornwall, the owner of swamp property on Ash street which in con- junction with adjoining lands owned by w. walsh and Springfield parties had formerly been declared unSanitary, appeared and asked for a continuance of time owing to the owners absence from the city. It was granted.
 Reports from the school physician. recommending new card system for recording individual scholars, a dental clinic and a medical clinic separate from the present hospital one was made in person. Dr. sherman also announced that she had been invited to read a paper at the annual Inter national Congress of Hygiene at Buffa- To in July.
 Routine reports from the Health off, cer, Inspectors, School nurses, Milk analysist and Weigher disclosed noth- ing of importance and were accepted by the board. Assistant Inspector J. c. Grace was asked to record in de- tail the conditions which he found in the cheaper class of markets and re- ported that in many instances lack of knowledge as to refrigerator construc- ton resulted in the venttlators being closed Screens were not being equip ped fast enough upon the east-sfde and in many instances insufficient saWdJ1St was being used upon the floors. The new inspector seen for the first time before the board made a fla vorabIe appearance and his intelli- zence in handling the various cases under his jurisdiction brought favor able individual comment from the
 members present.
 Though the recently enforced regu- lation that all meat killed without the citv limits must be transported to the slas,1hter-house for inspection and stamning. has worked some hardships and reouests for special slaughtering permits were made by at least one large western packing company, IL was decided that unless the most stringent necessity demanded such privilege no exceptions could be made, and It was intinoated that should any deception be practiced upon inspectors by those now holding such permits revocation would probably follow. It was thought that one concern was buying country slaughtered calves and hanging them in the slaughter-hoJise as city-killed in order to secure the approving stamp of the meat inspector.
 It was reported that prosecution or the two alleged violators Of the mix egulations-Curran and Bill-now un- der arrest had been delegated to the state authorities who it developed had secured the evidence in con5unc- ton with the local inspectors. The prosecuting authorities of Bridgeport were scored for delays which had aris- en in the Bill case.
