PUTNAM WOMEN APPEAL
 TO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Suggest Proper Sanitary Regulations and nspection-Need of Visiting Nurse,

The following communication, ad- dressed to the Chamber of Commerce by a number of Putnam women, was made public Wednesday and the an- nouncement made that a committee of the Chamber will work in conjunction with representative of the women rel atfve to the matter:
 Putnam Chamber of Commerce,
 Putnam, Connecticut
 Gentlemen: We believe that our community is lacking in provision for public health. There s no active and adequate board of health. There is no sufficient inspection or regulation of sanitary conditions. There is no ar rangement for making the services of trained nurse available to the poor, and to others who need less than the full time of a professional. We be- ueve that @ visiting nurse should be provided; and that proper sanitary in- spectfon and regulation should be es- tablfshed.
 Therefore we respectfully request that the Putnam Chamber of Com fnerce take up these matters. We be- lieve that the women of the city would be glad to work together for this pur- pose under your leadership.
 Respectfully youhrs,
 Mabel c. Johnson, Mrs. Ellen s. Shaw Ellen M. Wheelock. Mary T. Wheeloclx, Mabel F. Waterman, Jessie A. Mcintyre. Irene W: Gilpatric. Mrs. L. Warren, Mrs. J. A. P, Gagne, Mrs Wallace Whitney, Mrs. Celia Auger, Katherine Byrne. Abb,e L. Daniels, Kate L. Seward, M. J. Bullard. Bertha L. Sargent. Jane c. Warner. Mrs. c. D. Sharpe Elvira A. Barber. Christine W. Tatem, Ruth Shaw Wheelocl, Grace Nfkoloff, Miss Clara c. Larned. Mary Byrps.
