CITY AbATTO|R
IS ADVANCED
Health Board to Give Data to
Aldermen - Action to be
Taken on City Milk.

That a municipal slaughter house
will come up for consideration very
soon is evidenced by the request
of the board of aldermen that
the health board furnish the
city fathers with all the data con-
corning the present abattoir. and the
necessity and cost of erecting such a
new one as has been suggested.
UUpon the request of the aldermen
Health officer Charles Thompson
will investigate municipal slaughter
houses in communities the size OF
Perth Amboy and make a report as
soon as possible. In one letter to
the aidermanic board. DIR. Thomp-
son showed that the number of head
of cows. pigs and calves slaughtered
since 1916 has increased from 2.S4S
to $3.50 in ten months of 1920 and
that the present abattoir is entirely
too small for such large amount of
business.
The health board is ever becom-
ing more strict on the subject of
proper milk for Perth Amboy. and
the subject of milk tests from some
of the large dairies which supply this
community was again taken. Next
year the testing will be strictly OBJ
served, and yer in the case of those
people right in the community who
have their own cows the most string
ent testing laws will be observed.
From a report it was shown that
there are about 800 cows within the
limits of Perth Amboy. and to ia
cilitate the testing the health officer
was empowered to find a proper
place where all these cows must be
brought for the official test.
D~iphtheria. at present, is the pre-
vailing communicable disease in the
community. Twenty-six cases have
been reported in the month of No
vember. This condition seems to
be prevalent all over the country ac-
.cording to the health officers report
with a case rate of lis per cent.
and a fatality rate of $40 per cent.

have been reported, all have been
successfully quarantined but not

BREAK IN WATER MAIN
IN F0RDS SECTION
By Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
FORDS, Dec. 15:-For the past
month the water furnished by the
Middlesex Water Company has had
a milky appearance and a peculiar
taste. 1t was explained by the water
company that there vas a leak In
the main. which allowed air and
sand to get into the pipes. This
condition has been noticed through
out the township and complaints
have been received by the Board of
Health. Inspector Potter has made
an investigation and reported that
there was a leak in the mains.
During this week the water has
become very muddy and has caused
pipes In some houses to become
partly filled with sediment. Com
plants were made as to the condi-
ton of the water supply and the dis
%coloring was found to be due to the
connecting of new houses to the
water mains. The new connections
being made on New Brunswick ave-
nue. are also responsible for part of
the muddy condition of the water.
There are only a few more connec-
tons to be made, and it is expected
that no trouble will be in evidence
within a few days.
