STATIONS
" IS PLAN HERE
Move Discussed At Meeting of the
Board of Health Last
Night.

MIX stations located In convenient
places throughout the city where
mothers may come and purchase fresh
certified milk at cost prices during the
summer months will in all probability
be established soon by the health
board provided the plans for such as
advocated at the meeting last night
are carried out. In DIR. Silks opinion
the institutfng of such stations here
would tend to reduce The infant NOR
tally rate In Perth Amboy more than
any single factor, because in
previous years mothers have been I'M
able to secure proper milk nourish-
ment for their infants who conse-
quently suffered.

a clino building. This structure will
be on the hospital property and will
cost approximately $40, 600. A quar-
ter OF this will be given by the hos
pital. half was requested from the
and the rest will be raised.
The aldermen all look favorably on
the project blu said that they must
possess the land on which the build
ing Is to be erected or they can APP
.propriate no funds. The hospital
authorities will make some provision
SO h a the land can be given the city
with the understanding hat 1t must
be used for land on which to erect a
clinic.
All proprfetors of confectionery
stores or places where ice cream and
soft drinks are sold must provide
