A dark storm cloud which has been lowering over the Health Department for some time broke with a crash last night when at the meeting of the Board of Health sweeping changes were made in the per- sonnel of the department and nine new appointees made.

 Louis Blair of the Division of Waste Collection, was relieved of his position and Frank Richards ap, Dunning, superintendent of Ash Col lection, was dropped from the de- partment and William Leopold vs>o- pointed to the vacancy.

Grosco and Henry Streck being ap- pointed the new insp pectOrs Chief Inspector C. Howard Dunbar remains in charge. The sanitary inspectors retained are Henry Kollmansperger Philip Weidenhannmer and Charles Fray.
 New Stenogs Appointed.
 Seven vacancies were created Tn the force of stenographers and only four new stenographers appointed Miss Ida Della. Miss Hazel Dave, Miss Mary Corners, Miss Alice Me- Lellan. Miss Edith stick1es, Miss Cecils CaIanquln and Mrs Grace Straw were dropped from the department. while Miss Mary Rose. Miss Ruth Howard Miss Marie Walsh and a Miss Howe were appointed to fill the vacancies Miss Florence Knablfn and Miss Mary Reber were retained. Miss Cora L. F,reyler, clerk of vital statistics, was also retained
 The cuts in the personnel Of tho off1ce force Is attributed by Health Department officials to the failure of the Board of Apportionment to 'ap- propr1ate money to carry out the work of the department. pr. w. H. Coon states that the work O. the depart ment will be greatly curtailed because of the lack of sufficient funds to carry out it's schedule.
 Division of AIilk.
 Another important change made lasS night was the division of milk into two classes. namely raw and pas teurized against the various grades now being. sold. With the new ruling there will be but two grades of milk sold in the city. Another Important ruling is that all milk graded as raw must be bottled at the point of pro- duction. Provision is made for the physical examination of all employees handling milk destined for the city and if they are not up to the stand. ard of the Health Department they will be barred from handling milk. The new ruling requires that ma, chimes must handle milk while it is being bottled and all bottles must be sterilfzed before being used. With all these new regulations to take effect immediately Dr. Coon be-. lieves that Bridgeport will have the best milk of any city in the United States.
 IA letter received from the Board of Education relative to the dental clinic question was read and filed. It is not known whether there will garding the new regulations. Most of the out of. town milk diaries doing business in the city are said to receive their milk already bottled. Some of the large firms receive their milk from out of town sources and bottle; it in their dairies in the city. If they are obliged to follow the new ruling it will cost quite a sum of money to make the change and they will not make the change without great protest
 Miss Hazel Dave. who has been re- heved of her position as stenographer Is at present in the hospital suffering from a fractured knee cap. Miss Bessie O'Hara, stenographers and secretary to Dr. Coon is retained.
