HEALTH BOARD
SELECTS PE1z
AS PRESIDENT
Street Car Sanitation Taken
Up at Reorganization Meet
ing Last Night-AISO Steps
Taken for Isolation Hospital.

After a resolution had been adopt
ed making the first regular meeting
in January the organization session
of the Board of Health, that body
last night unanimously named Harry
A. Petz as the president for the en-
suing year. Three new members OF
the board, Edward Dilts, MAIDS Dine
sen and Edward j. Peterson took
ner president, Anders r. A. Over
gard; John Peterson and Harvey
Sell.
Street car sanitation was discussed,
the subject being broached by Mr..
Dilts, who declared that the trolleys,
especially on the New Brunswick
line, were frequently in a filthy con-
dition. Previous attempts to rem
edy this condition by the board have
failed to obtain any permanent re-
suits and the matter was referred to
Health officer Willsey and the COM
mittee on sanitation for investiga-
tion with power to take further ac-
tion against the Public Service Com
pany If found necessary.
Isolation Hospital Again.
A resolution certifying to the need
of an isolation hospital In order to
prevent the spread of contagious dis
ease was again passed and will be
presented to the Board of Aldermen.
This action was taken in view of the
fact that the health officers report
shows big increase in infectious dis
eases during the year and thus en-
phasizes the need for an institution
of this kind.
Since statistics of the health Of
ficer show a big increase in the NOR
bidity and mortality rate from tu-
berculosis In Perth Amboy, resolu-
tion was passed to be presented to
the board of chosen freeholders ask
ing that further steps be taken to-
ward the erection of a hospital for
tuberculosis. The site for this pur-
pose was purchased some time ago
by the freeholders but the project
appears to have been abandoned fol-
lowing a protest from residents of
New Brunswick. who maintain that
tta facn, =, q - i
might cause pollution of the city's
water supply. The local board urges
that steps be taken for the immedi,
ate erection of the hospital and sug-
gests that rather than have the un-
favorable attitude toward the pro-
posed location retard the construc-
ton of the hospital, the present prop
erty be sold and a new site secured.
During the past year 105 cases of
tuberculosis have been reported In
Perth Amboy and forty-fve deaths
have resulted. The urgent need for
the hospital for tubercular patients
is shown, the health officer declares,
by the fact that many of the cases
occur where the families are large
and cramped in close quarters. The
establishment of such an institution
would thus relieve the city's condi-
ton, he believes, and would help~to
check its spread. %

OLSEN IS LIKELY
To Be HEAD Of
HARB0R BOARD

1t is generally believed among Re-
publicans and Democrats alike that
Peter c. Olsen, Republican, will
be the president of the new Board
OF Harbor Commissioners to be nam
ed by Mayor Ferd Garretson. Rich
ard A. Bolger, Democrat, has been
serving as president of the existing
board. As politics are equally distrib
uted In the board, there being not
more than two mem bers of one polit-
ical party, according to law, no one
party Is In power. 1t is believed
that Mayor Garretson will re-appoint
Richard A. Bolger, John c. Donehue
and Peter G. Olsen, and that he will
name Arthur C. Sofeld, a Repubu-
can in place of Abel Hansen.
1t Is reported that by reason of
an understanding declared to have
been reached when Mr.. Bolger was
elected as president, the Republicans
are to have an opportunity of select
Ing head this year. In view of the
fact that Mr.. Olsen would be the
other Republican member, in case
appointments are made by the mayor
as scheduled, he would be the logic
al candidate. Leading Republicans
declare that Mr.. Olsen will head the
board for the next year.
May Name Board Tomorrow.
1t Is expected that Mayor Garrett
son will name a harbor board to-
morrow. together with appointees
for the Board of Education The
terms OF the harbor commissioners
will extend over that of the mayor.
Nothing can be learned from the 4
mayor or other Republicans concern
ing the school board selections. |
When questioned the mayor asked |
his interviewer to wait until tomor-
row. Louis NJ Hossi and John X /
eheehy are the outgoing members.
