Refuse TO Reduce Health Fund
The Bradley bill providing for cut
ting the annual appropriation of the
state board of health from 0,000
to $4,000 was killed by the assem-

ment of the measure came from AS
sem lyman Hanson Of ManitOW0C. He
argued that the board Of health did
not need the extra $4,000 apprOpri-

the force of men employed. Assem-
blyman Spoor of Green Lake made a
