FOR WANT OF A SECOND TO CON-
MISSIONER LONDoN'S MOTION
THE ORDINANCE WILL HAVE
TO Be TABLED FOR PRESENT.

AZ the meeting of the board of city
commissioners last night the pool
hall ordinance was lost on account Of
receiving no second to Commissioner
Londons motion that the ordinance
be passed and the matter has been
tabled temporarily at least
Just why this action was taken is
not apparent at present as there is n
strong sentiment in the city for the
adjustment of the pool han and il
was thought that a majority of the
city officials were in favor Of doing
so, but from last ights action there
has evidently something come up that
caused the city dads to pause in their
determination.
one thing was done however if
strictly enforced will make the pool
halls no longer place for mere
youths to loiter about and that was
the authorization of a notice covering
every detail of regulation which is
very strict This ordinance No. lS4

says he is going to see that it is en-

WARNS BOAT MEN
TO MEASURE GAS
Some Waterfront Dealers De-
fraud Buyer, Says Hartigan
One Cheated Self.

Joseph Hartigan. Commissioners OF
that survey by his bureau Of the ma
rine gasolene service stations on the
waterfront dlscloses the dealers cannot
be depended upon for accurate meas
ure." While many Of the stations have
been giving less gnsolene than motor
boat owners paid for, tho Commissioner
added. an inspector OF his bureau made
the discovery that one station hae in
use three mea gures which were givins
from Y to IN gallons OF gasolene in
excess OF the quantity for which pay
ment was made.
This station sold out OF these gaso-
lene measures about 10000 gallons OF
gasolene per year." Mr.. Hartigan said
"and the motor boat man who bought
was benefited. The proprietor was los
ing about $500 a year on the transac-
tion. II the manager Of the station had
compared his measures with the stand
ards OF this bureau he would not have
suffered this loss.
There are about one hundred marine
gasolene service stations in and around
New York, and the pumps Of each Of them
will be inspected and tested II would
be wise for motor boat owners TO pro-
vide themselves with a one gallon or a
fve gallon standard gasolene measure
and use them when they buy gasolene
The Commissioner said no extensive
evleence has been found that the meas
ures used were not up to the standard
The motor boat owners have been de-
frauded, he explained. by the failure of
the station employees to NIL their meas
ures to the brim-
Some of the we'll known advertised
brands of gasolene are being advertised
as such at certain stations" the Com
missioner said. but before they are
measured out to the automobilist they
are mixed with dope. that Is, inferior
stun that costs comparatively little.
These mixtures are sold at standard
prices, however.
IT believe that the city should main
tain public laboratory where free
tosts could be made of all gasolenes."

DEATH RATE LOWER,
HEALTH COST CUT
Mortality Here in 1916 Re-
duced Despite Poliomyelitis.

The high cost of being healthy in New
York city has been cut to the bone with
out any aid from Mr.. Hoover, thank you.
In the annual report OF the Board of
Health for 1915, which came to the sur
face yesterday, II Is shown the death
rate was reduced from 1898 per thou
sand In 1915 to 1889 in 1915, and that
while It cost an average OF 65 cents per
capita to turn the trick in 1915 II cost
only 69.1 cents in 1915.
And all this notwithstanding the pres
ence In our midst Of old DR.. Polio
myelitis, which Ia the company name Of
infantile paralysis. Typhoid cases were
reduced from p,ib6 In 1915 TO 1917 in
1915.
Even the dogs behaved better. Only
twenty-three OF them went mad in 1915,
as against ia In 1915, but then there
wasn't any Wioks dog law In effect in
1915. The dogs OF 1915 only bit 8,205
persons, as compared with 3,648 who
were attacked the year before.
The Health Department, taking its
guess at the city census, says that we
have 5,602.841 folk In the town.
But hist
There were $500 fewer births during
the year. The difference is not due to
Mrs. Margaret Sanger, but to the de-
crease In foreign immigration due to the
war. on the happy other hand, the mar
riages increased by 1000.
Accidents that the board says might
have been avoided increased the deaths
by violence from 3,sl9 in 1915 to 4.235
last year. A lot OF them came from
leaving matches where children could get
them.
