SALARY is TOO SMALL

After quizzlng two new applicants
at the meeting last night, the Board
of Health following a short discus
sion in committee session announced
that they have as yet been unable to
procure the type of a man they de-
sire to fill the position of food in
spector. The commissioners stated
they feel they are justified in what
ever postponements they are causing
since they do not expect to choose an
inspector unless he is capable of per-
forming every duty connected with
the Office of food inspector, which is
one of the mosts important positions
in the health department of the city.
1t seems that there are several Ii
censed out of town men who suit the
commissioners, but who will not ac-
cept the appointment because of the
small salary. However, President
Harvey H. Sell, as well as several
other commissioners, believe they
will soon be able to procure an in
spector within their means who will
suit every requirement of the board.
| The members of the board, especially
Mr.. Sell, are expending much of their
| time in determining the abilities of
| different candidates for the appoint
ment and while they have been una
BILE as yet to locate the type of a
| candidate they. desire, they do not
expect to give up the search now, but
instead mean to continue it with re-
| newed yigor.

wick avenue, appeared on complaint
made by Commissioner Petz that the

knowledge of the act. He was ,,arn-
ed that another violation would in
all likelihood cause him the loss of
his license to keep a slaughter house.
