Inspector
Ledger Photo Service

Mrs. Edith W. Pierce. who success
fully passed the examination as street
cleaning inspector. but who together
with six men. was not appointed by
Director Winston to n position. believes
that. on the whole. it would not have
been agreeable TO have been the only
woman inspector on tho force.
II wanted to do educational work
along the same lines that l followed in
the Blankenhurg administration said
Mrs. Pierce this morning in reference
to her rejection. The director told me
that he was not ready to take up edu
cational work. and in fact. did not
know whether he was permitted to do
so under the new charter.
''As the only woman street cleaning
inspector, | don't believe that the work
would have been so agreeable. and ]
preferred my work as probation officer
of the Juvenile Court.
IL don't believe that the director
thinks that women can accomplish much
He has not made uSc of the offers of
help that have been sent TO him by the
women in clubs"
Mrs. Pierce was one Of two women to
take tho examination for street cleaning
inspection and was the only one who

Councils Health Committee Also to
Take Up Nuisance Bill Today

The health committee Of City Coun-
Gil will meet this afternoon to consider
tho ordinances recently introduced to
increase the number of attaches and
provide for improvements in the depart
ment for insane at the Philadelphia
General Hospital. The committee will
also take action on the ordinance to
appropriate $4,000 for the abatement
Of nuisances.
The first ordinance would establish
thirty eight new positions in the de-
nartment of the insane at the Phila-
delphia General Hospital ranging from
a medical director. at $1,000 year. to
two hydrothcrapists, at 5000 year
each. and requiring an appropriation
of $50 .373 annually. Under the ordi-
nance S14.O 900 is to be appropriated to
make necessary alterations at the hos
pital for the new methods of treatment
for the insane.
The ordinance providing for $50, 1000
for abating nuisances would be an ad-
dition to an equal amount set aside
for the same purpose under the 1920
budget. and would be used chiefly to
eliminate filthy conditions in congested
sections Of the city.
