State to Have a Model Health
Department.

purpose of interesting the city and

Department.
Our Health Department is financed,
to large degree, by outside agencies,

of the cost of this department. The fis-
cal year of the department closed with
the first of April and the outside con-
tributing agencies have withdrawn
their support for the present. They Of
fer to return to Mason county with
even larger contribution than they
have heretofore made, towit: six thou
sand dollars a year making a budget
of 10000, for the operation of the
Health Department These agencies
insist that this fund be contributed by
the county and the city governments
instead of from individual contribu-
tions and that the department be rec
ognized department of the city and
county just as the Police and Fire de-
partments.
There are to be five of these model
health departments in Kentucky and
four have already been contracted, the
fifth is offered to Mason county. The
county is asked to contribute S25tf
and the city $500.
Last nights meeting was presided
over by County Agent George Kirk anC

ington, of the International Healtl
Board, DIR. Mccormack, Secretary o

Fathers

BALLARD WILL INVESTIGATE
STATES CAR SHORTAGE
Lieutenant Governor VIII Make Spe-
cial Investigation Into Railroad
Car Shortage.

Frankfort, KY, April 8. - The car
shortage situation in Eastern Ken
lucky has received the attention Of
Acting Governor Ballard. He wired
the Louisville and Nashville and
Southern Railroad officials today at
Middlesboro to ascertain exactly the
number of cars that have been sup
piled to the mines in Bell county this
year.
The complaint that has reached
Lieutenant Governor Ballard, who is
acting Governor in the absence of
Governor Morrow, is, that the mines
in the Middlesboro district are being
favored to the detriment of the mines
in the Pineville district. Both the
Louisville and Nashville and Southern
RAILROADS supply cars for the Middles-
boro district, but only the Louisville
and Nashville reaches the Pineville
district.
Some of the mines have been able to
run only two days a week On account
fof the car shortage. This is the con-
dition that Acting Governor Ballard
seeks to remedy.
