boilers or stores are used, to cover
securely each funnel or smokestack OF
such vessel with an efficient spark ar
roster, the wire mesh of which shall
not be less than four to the inch, when
crossing the pierhead line in ap-
preaching any grain elevator, or any
pier. in waters within the jurisdiction
of the city, at which cotton or naval
stores are being handled or stored, and
shall keep the same covered the entire
time while within said pierhead line"
The ordinance further provides that

or unloaded will not come In contact

The committee also recommended
that the Federal Food Board take steps
to look up carefully the personn2l oil

ity and. if possible, make all the watcn-
men members either of the State illl-
