Demand For Three New Deputies
(StateSnan)

Legislation providing fer the EN-.
ployment of three additional deputies
by the pure food department is
recommended in the biennial report
Of that department to the gov 5rnor.
The new deputies asked for are a
meat inspector, drug inspector and
a deputy to look after weights and
measures. According to the report,
this is the least amount of help the
department can get along with and
do good work under the new laws.
AS the principal reason foy wish
ing to add a meat inspector to the
numbers of deputies the report says
that while much good work has been
done in the way Of cleaning up
slaughter houses and tearing down
insanitary buildings used for slaugh-
tering purposes but that the depart.
ment has had no means heretofore
Of inspecting meat to determine
whether or not it was wholesome.
In asking for a drug inspector ii
is stated in the report that there are
between 500 and 800 drug stores in
the state retailing proprietary medi-
cines and compromising prescriptions
Inspector Wallis thinks that a com
petent Inspector should be appointed
to pass on these drugs.
On the assumption that the legisla
ture will pass a law covering fully
the matter of weights and measures
a deputy to take charge of this i'm
portant purpose is asked for.
The report shows that during tn
last two years the department ha
been more than self-sustaining. Mon
ey secured through licenses collecte'
and fines secured for violation O
state laws more than met the ex
penses Of the work, and there is "a
present balance of mere than So
900 in the state dairy, food and san
tary fund.

met by friends on all sides who shocl
