BETTER HEALTH LAWS.
Improvements That Have Been Made
 by the General Assembly.

Public Health Legislation, 1913. is the theme upon which Secretary Jo- seph H. Townsend of the state board of health writes in the May bulletin of the department. his comments be-
 The general assembly which ad- journed June passed some excellent public health laws and improved by amendment some of the older ones. First among these is the amendment extending it's provisions to include towns and charging the town health officer with the duties assigned by the act to the building inspectors of cities.
 Among other laws may be men toned an act concerning the bottling and sale of drinking water. requiring all persons engaging in the business to take out a license from the state board of health. which board must analyze the water and inspect the premises where bottling is done; an act concerning the control of mosquito breeding places. declaring any pool or rGceptacle near human habitations containing water breeding mosquitoes Q nuisance detrimental to the public health and making the nuisance abat- able by the health officer an act con corning the keeping of food products in cold storage was passed in some what mutilated form and places the matter in charge of the state board of health. who are authorized to make rules and regulations governing the same; new midwifery law. providing for a single examining board instead of three boards as formerly and law governing the sale of narcotic drugs, were also passed.
 The marriage law was amended so that hereafter, when both contracting parties are non residents of the town where license is applied for, the reg istrar cannot issue the license until five days after the application. This is good law and will limit the marriage traffic now going on with our neigh boring states. which already have such a law These acts will go into effect Aug. 1.
 The bills designed to prevent the pollution of streams and tidal waters of the state again failed of passage. except insofar as to authorize this board to investigate and report to the next legislature. This is to be regret ted and I can only say. as l did two years ago. that this is the most urgent sanitary question in the state today.
