HEALTH DEPT. AND
HOTELMEN COOPERATE

I The new State Department of Health
Of Maine has during the past month
been engaged in making a sanitary
survey of the hotels and summer re-
sorts. This work, which is being done
with the full cooperation Of the Maine
Hotel Association and the hotel men
| individually. has been very gratifying
to the Department in showing that
sanitary conditions are well cared for
and the Maine hotel men are anxious
to do everything possible for the well
/ fare and comfort of their guests. A
letter has recently been sent to the
members of the Hotel Association by
the secretary, Wilbur T. Emerson. set
ting forth the nature Of the work and
| its potential advantages
Cp to the present time the survey
has included only those hotels along
the coast, but during the next few
months many of the inland vacation
hotels and commercial houses will be
visited. Data is being collected at each
hotel upon the location and condition
o. the building, the storage and hand
ling of food, the water and milk sup
plies, sewage and garbage disposal.
}
adequacy of employees quarters. These
data will be considered during the an
rual meeting Of the Hotel Association
in December at conference with the
Health Authorities and it is expected
trat plans will be made for continued
and regular hotel inspection.
This Is one of the ways in which
the Health Department will be able to
get in touch with conditions through
out the State and render valuable aid
to the business interests of the State
by guaranteeing sanitary conditions to
the large number of summer visitors
and tourists.
The survey is being made under the
direction of Health Commissioner DR..
L. D. Bristol, by c. E. Turner, a native
Of Maine, who is an instructor in the
/ Department of Biology and Public
Health at the Massachusetts Institute
OF Technology and in the Harvard
Technology School for Health Officers.

DAYS PROCEEDINGS IN
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
Alleged Violation OF Compulsory School
Law Among Cases To Be
Taken Up

Several cases of more or less inn
portanee were scheduled to come up
il the Anne Arundel Circuit Court
this afternoon. During the morning
session of the tribunal, however,
there was little or no business, except
for passing upon motions in several
minor cases, and assigning dates of
other actions for trial
One case of local interest that was
disposed of was that of Michael
George. colored man of the city,
who some time ago was arrested and
fined for selling gin on Sunday.
When the case was called, motion
by States Attorney Green that it be
passed without prejudice TO the State,
was granted In other words, the
view is taken that this case is one
that should have come before the
grand jury for investigation, and not
placed on the criminal appeal docket
1t is now unlikely. therefore, that the
case viii be brought before the grand
inquest.
Among the cases docketed to be
taken up this afternoon was one in
which the offense charged is a viola
tion of the new compulsory education
law The alleged offender is Mr..
Charles Stinchcomb.
