the Board of Health will not raise
any serious objection.
1t was at first planned to amend
the law. but after going into the
matter more fully it has been de-
cided to make no amendments at

changes that might prove unsatis-

serious objections might be raised to
legislation exempting anyone from
the wrapping Of garbage and might
make 1t extremely difficult to COM

OF the larger restaurants send their
