represent the milk dealers. He sug- gested a meeting with the dealers committee at o'clock Monday. The plan was approved. A date will be set at that meeting.
 This afternoon, Dr. Sophian an- nounced that the board of health will recommend to all mothers that they allow their children to use no milk that hasn't been boiled at least three minutes.
 Both the Bridgeport Medical so- ciety's advisory board and the board of health agreed at joint meeting this noon that a city Hospital should be acquired by Bridgeport. Mayor Wilson said the lack of such an in- stHution in city the size of Bridge DOT tis ridiculous
 The wealthy men ok Bridgeport will be appealed to to start a movement for the city hospital and aid it with funds, it is expected. The board of health members were, appointed. a committee to confer with some of the wealthy men in the city with this end in view
 If the city has to build the hos pital, which it should have done be- fore; according to the members of the board, a bond issue is likely to be asked.
 Personally, from a strict financial policy" said the mayor, 'I should fla vor a bond issue" He said he will bring it up at the next meeting of the board of apportionment. An appeal to the legislature may hasten things, he, said, by agitating this winter. He. declared the referendum and incident. al features might delay the building longer than is desirable.
 pr. Sophian brought up the matter of a city hospital. You have lots of wealthy men here,'' he said. why don't they get together and do some thing about it; They do in other cities"
 The health board began a verbal campaign for building of their own this afternoon in the mayors office. They didn't approve going in with the board of charities on a building, as funds have been provided for, but wanted their own structure. The mayor didn't agree, however, and he said if the building is going to be in- adequate, judging from the plans, 1t won't be built that way.
 Dr. Edward Fitzgerald, deputy cor oner, was at the meeting of the aH- visory board this noon and he brought up several points, which he attributed to Dr. Harvey Wiley, former govern ment chemist, against pasteuriation. Dr. Wiley contended the food value of milk was diminished by pasteurization. Dr. Sophian pointed out that the slight lessening in food value is as nothing compared to the dangers that Turk in unpasteuried milk.
 Dr. Sophian cited the spread of cholera, and septic sore throat as evil dence of the peril of uhpasteurized milk.
 The board of health has decided to permit mothers to visit their children who are i'll with poliomyelitis in Hill side home. "It is undesirable, but a matter of justice," said pr. Sophian."
 As result of complaint, Dr. Sophian said this morning he would cause signs to be erected preventing children of less than 10 years of age boarding the boats that ply between Pleasure\ beach and this city. Con- gregating of children is undesirable, he said. sft
 One physician in the employ of the city will be assigned to do nothing else but ambulance work in connection with poliomyelitis cases.
 No new case of poliomyelitis was re- ported today. Dr. Robert Keane re- ported case of meningitis at 200 North Washington avenue.
