DISCREPANCY
|NM|LK TEST
Health Board Gives Reasons
for 0usting Technician
Employed by Dept.
HE WAS NOT RELIABLE
Board Cannot Indulge in Loose
determinations, Statement
Reads Today

In answer to the statement of
Judge Peter f. DAILY, on July IA, in
open court when he declared in re-
lation to the discharging of the lab
oratory technician by the Perth AM
boy Board of Health, that the board
for their own protection, if they are
right, should give the proof to the
people, why he was discharged, DIR.
Charles l. Silk, president of the
health board, today issues a state
ment declaring the technician and
giving other details in the milk dis
cussion now occupying the minds of
the people of the city.
The statement follows:
July IT, 1922.
I'm view of the several statements
that appeared in the Perth Amboy
Evening News, both in its news col
umns as we'll as editorially, regard
ing the local milk situation and the
discharging of the laboratory tech
nician by the Board of Health, the
members of the said board wish to
make their position clear in this
matter by the following statements:
THE services of the -technician
were disposed with because of in
competency. After checking him up
by two reputable laboratories, in
Plainfield and Newark respectively,
it was found that there was wide
discrepancy in these reports as COM
pared with those of our technician,
proving to the satisfaction of the
board the unreliability of his re-
ports. Considering the technical ma
ture of these tests we cannot enter
in the details of it here"
This board feels that it cannot
afford, nor should it be expected, to
indulge in loose determinations that
cannot be backed up by actual
proof If the court believes that
this health board has information
that may be of value in the clear
inc of the milk situation as revealed
by the bomb incident, we, the board
are more than willing at any time,
to give any and all information in
our possession to the court, or
prosecutor, or anyone else author
lzed to receive it.
Whatever may be said, however,
the public may be assured that their
interest in the matter of safe and
pure milk has at all times been
taken care of and we truly believe
that Perth Amboy receives not only
as good, but if anything better milk
than can be had in most cities.

president of Perth Amboy
Board of Health"

LET US BEAR 1T IN MIND.

If there is one fact more than
another that we have sought to i'm
press upon the people of Mineral
Point and the country around about,
that fact is that the interests of city
and country are inseparably bound
together. We like the word commun-
lty, but would not use it in a limited
sense, as applying only to the body of
people who live within the confines of
Mineral Point. We would think of
the people of nearby townships as
being members of this community,
and would think of our city being a
community center and a leader in
those things which make for intellec-
tual, social and material progress.

FOUNDATION MUST GIVE
UP ALL GERMAN PATENTS
Trade Marks and Other Property
Transferred by Alien Property Gus
todians Ordered Surrendered

Washington, July 3.-Instructions
were. issued by President Harding that
a demand be made on the Chemical
Foundation Inc, for immediate return
to the government of all patents, trade
marks, copyrights, contracts, and other
property transferred to it by alien
property custodians of the Wilson adj
ministration.
The Instructions contained in let
ter written by Mr.. Harding to Thomas
w. Miller, alien property custodian,
which was made public at the White
House. were wholly unexpected, al
though the Chemical Foundation nu-
merous times has been under the fire
of Republican congressman.
In addition, the President ordered
Mr. Miller to take any action advised
Or approved by the attorney general
to respect fully government rights or
interests in the properties turned over
to the Chemical Foundation:
Notable among the congressional at
tacks was that made by Representa-
tive Frear Republican (Wis.)), year
ago, when he charged that "the dye
monopoly headed by the Chemical
Foundation company" had sought to
influence three cabinet members in an
effort to perpetuate 'its present ex-
elusive power through retention Of
the dye embargo.
Mr.. Frear at that time further
charged that Francis P. Garvan and
Joseph Choate, Jr., while employed by
the government in the alien property
custodian's office in positions of con-
troll, conceived the idea of selling alien
patents then on file in the patent Of
fee and taking them over to them
selves and their associates in private
capacity under the name Of the Chem
ical Foundation company at "a pri-
vate sale for $25O,00O, or about 2 per
cent of their actual value"
The Frear charges were denied by
Mr.. Garvan and his assistants, but
their company several times since has
come under congressional fire, particu-
larly during debate on the dyestuffs
schedule of the tariff bill. It was at
tackled and also defended during the
senate dyestuffs lobby investigation re-

Mineral Points Chautauqua.

The last entertainment Of the big
five-day chautauqua was staged on
Monday of this week. The Mutual
Ewell Chautauqua Circuit presented
fine display Of professional talent
to large crowds at every entertain
ment on the entire program. Such
fine musical talent has never before
been in Mineral Point The speakers
were especially inspiring and enter
tanning. Everything on the entire
schedule was of quality far above
the ordinary. Among all the unique
and artistic programs, the addresses
of Major Joseph r. Hanley stand out
as the most popular. His lecture on
the evening of the third day has Gre
ated comment after comment of fav-
orable note. His oratory was perfect
and he talked straight from the
shoulder on this subject Of such vital
Importance to all patriots of the pres
ent time.
The work done by Mrs. Larramore
with" the local children deserves
much praise. The local talent pro-
gram consisting of dances by the
lower grade children and other talent
and the pyfamid building by the boys
took place on the afternoon of the
last day and in the evening the page
ant, "The Pied Piper" was presented
by local school children under the
supervision of Mrs. Larramore.
The chautauqua was one of the
finest community projects ever UNI
dertaken in Mineral Point. 1t is too
bad that the proper financial condi-
ton did not exist.
