CANDIDATES NOT PICKED
BY EITHER SIDE AS YET

FBy Evening News stan Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 10:-As yet
neither the Democrats nor Republi-
cans have agreed upon candidates,
according to announcements coming
from both parties. On Monday night
it was thought hat the Republican
Fusion forces would designate can
didates for the coming primaries at
a meeting which was held at st.
George, but although the meeting
lasted more than two hours nothing
was given out. All indications point
to the fact that former Senator
Cromwell will be designated as the
candidate for borough president. 1t
is said that it is only a question of
hours before the candidates will be
announced.
There seems to be a deadlock in
the ranks of the Democrats as to
selection of candidates to carry the
standard in the coming primaries.
After a long meeting on Monday
night it seemed that they were no
nearer to making designations than
they were a month ago. Indications
are that some news will be forth
coming from the Democrats by Fri
day. The executive committee has,
however endorsed the city ticket of
Hylan, Craig and Hubert.

RICHMOND HEALTH DEPT.
IS CALLED INADEQUATE

IBy Evening News Staff Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 10:-From
current reports it would seem as If
the present status and personnel of
the Health Department in Richmond
borough is inadequate but not in
competent. Following a two weeks
investigation it seems as If this bor-
ough is being considerably neglect
ed.
At the present time, 1t is pointed
out, there are but two inspectors al
lowed for the inspection of the
school children. The original num-
Der for this work is four. 1t is al
legged hat the two vacancies have
not been filled because of a desire
on the part of the officials to keep
the health appropriations within
bounds. This means hat there are
but two inspectors for the thirty
-four public schools, n high school
and two anneXes on Staten Island,
embracing approximately $4,000
school children.
The main need of the island, how
ever, according to DIR. s.. Josephine
Baker, is that of baby health in
sp%ectors. There are two baby health
stations located in the borough, one
in Stapleton and the other in Port
Richmond. 1t appears that there
are no physicians on nand at the
6Stations to conduct an inspection of
he babies brought in. DR.. Buntin,
With offices in Stapleton, is in
charge of the department. 1t is
said, however, that in case of an cpl
demic the department is so arranged
that aid can be Immediately ent to
any afflicted section. There are
enough doctors and nurses, it is re-
ported, now listed in reserve to re-
Spond to n crisis where their serv-
Ices might be needed.
There are two food inspectors on
duty constantly on the'island. One
milk inspector is also allotted to the
district. This allows for the inspec-
ton of every food establishment on
the island, on the average of once
every two months. A campaign for
better ice cream to raise the STAN
dard to a fat content of eight per
cent. is being advocated.
1t is pointed out that the local
workers for the Health Department
are thus kept busy, but are often
overwhelmed by the bulk of their
work and hampered by lack of COM
plete facilities for the execution of
their work. This lack of workers
also mean that much work of other
lines has to &c undone.
