Mayor Behrman said Saturday that

noes under his jurisdiction in this To-

The Marine Hospital is located near
the new cotton warehouse and is near
the center of heavy traffic, which has
been constantly increasing with the
drift of trade in that direction. After
the warehouse is running on full time
there will be enormous business ac-
tivity in that section.
A federal law provides penalties for
the blowing of whistles or making of
loud sounds near a United States hos

or, would be violated near the present
hospital. On this ground he will try
to have the institution removed to the
