To PROBE
FUMES IN CITY
Health Board Acts Upon Com
plants of Residents Meet
ing Last Night

An investigation in the near future
into the alleged unsanitary conditions
existing in the section of the city con-
tiguous to Front street, owing TO the
dense fumes emitted from the factory
of the United Dies Corporation, will
be conducted by the Bureau of Hy-
giene of the State Department of La
Dor, according to advices from the
Board of Health at their meeting last
night.
This matter was brought to their at
tention after the last meeting of the
Harbor Board which had received nu-
merous complaints of people residing
near the factory. The health board
looked into the matter and it is pro-
bable that inspectors from the state
will come to the city and following an
investigation, recommendations for al
formations will be suggested to them
by the health commission here.
The report of the health officer
submitted by DIR. Thompson indicates
that during the month of February
forty-five contagious cases were re-
ported. Vital statistics show a death
record of sixty over against that of
seventy-fiye for the month previous.
There have been a total of 215 sani-
tary inspections made and nineteen
reinspections, at which time seven
teen nuisances we're discovered and
twelve abatements resulted. The city
nurses have made 3,044 visits during
February and their reports are indie
ative of excellent work accomplished.
Twelve milk licenses, one ice cream
license, and eleven restaurant Ii
censes were granted last night APP
plications for permits to keep hogs
and goats on private property within
city limits were refused.

ing to hte covenant shall consent, and
the covenant shall not interfere with
the internal affairs of any of its
members"
While the amendment does not
mention the Monroe Doctrine. it is
understood TO apply to 1t. Some of
the members of She American dele
cation are inclined to accept ar
amendment on such lines feeling that
II NOulu meet the ol The
United States for some declaration in
the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine.

ALDERMEN ENGAGE
JOS. Z. STRICKER
In FIGHT ON FARES
County Prosecutor to Work
With City Attorney in Fight
Against Public Service --,

The Board of Alderman last night
authorized the employment of Pros
ecutor Joseph E. Stricken as associate
counsel to City Attorney Leo Gold
berger, to represent this city's inter-
eSts at the hearing before the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners at
Newark next Wednesday when that
body will hear the appeal of the Pub
lie Service Railways asking that they
be allowed to put in operation the
zoning system of fare charges which
they have submitted for consideration.
The city is planning a determined
stand on the Five Cent Fare in the
City Limits" basis, and it is hoped that
with the representation at the he2r
ing the city will be able TO get some
recognition of its franchise rights,
which call for a continuous passage
through the city on the p. s. lines for
five cents.
The abrogation of franchise rights
which the board allowed during the
seven cent fare fight has cast some
doubt on the ability of the city to
stand up and fight on the basis of the
franchise. Five cent fare franchises
were knocked galley west by the de-
cision of the board, which was upheld
by the higher courts when appealed
The meeting last night was called
at the request of Mayor Dorsey that
the city fathers take some steps to
engage special counsel to fight for the
city's rights at the hearing which will
decide whether or not the company
can arbitrarily set its own fare charges
over it's lines in this state.
The aldermen were of one and the
same mind with The mayor and il
resolved into question of what coun-
sci should be hired to be associated
with the city attorney in the hearing
Three men were mentioned, and Mr..
Stricken was the compromise. He was
Immediately consulted and agreed TO
take the assignment.
