Health Board Insists That
Smoke and Dust Nuisance
Can be Abated.
ALSO AFTER STREET ENDS
No Appointment of Food In
spsctor-- Numerous Reports
Are Read by Officers.

That the nuisance caused by the
smoke and dust from the Raritan
Copper Works can be abated and
would have been abated had that
firm been willing to expend the
money necessary, was the general
sentiment expressed by the members
of the Board of Health at their meet
ing last night. President Harvey H.
Sell stated that from information
gathered by. him, similar nulsances
had been done away with in other
cities and he did not know why the
same case should not apply here.
He also added that the citizens of
the first ward were justified in their
demands that the nuisances in their
vicinity, one of which is the smoke
from the Raritan Copper Works, be
abated,
On motion of Commissioner Leo
Schwartz it was decided that Super
intendent A. G. Clark be summoned
to appear at the next meeting of the
board, July %. 1t Is the intention
of the board to learn from Mr.. Clark
what has been done by the Raritan
Copper Works towards improving
the conditions complained of and at
that time he will probably be in
formed that the nuisance must be
abated.
Commissioner George Wustefeld
introduced the matter concerning
the conditions at the foot of Brigh-
ton avenue, Madison avenue and
First street, which, he declared, are
detrimental to health. The board
decided to hold off action on this
matter until advice is received from
their counsel, with whom they will
confer.
The board last night did not take
up the appointment of food inspec-
tor, which has been postponed nu-
merous times. 1t is understood that
the commissioners feel that they will
be able to procure man to meet all
the requirements of a food inspector
and are holding off the appointment.
Mrs. Mulherin, 374 Washington
street, was granted until october l
to improve conditions on her prem
ises.
John zaremba, 675 Catherine
street, was allowed until July % to
abate nuisance caused by an unsanf-
tary privy.
