HEALTH OFFICERS URGE
CHEMICAL LABORATORIES

TRENTON, March 2.-Establish
ment of chemical laboratories in
every county was suggested today by
the New Jersey Health Officers AS
sociation in convention at the state
house. The association has no COM
plant against the efficiency of the
state laboratory Physicians, how
ever, believe better results would be
obtainable if county laboratories
were permitted. The suggestion
arises from the fact that in some in
stances patients have died before ne
turn of culture diagnoses from the
state department.
Resolutions expressing sympathy
upon the death of r. B. Fitz-
randolph, of this city, assistant di-
rector of the state department of
health were adopted. The associa-
ton endorsed a legislative bill for
a yearly pension of $1,000 for de-
pendents of Dr. Fitzrandolph.
DR.. Harvey S. Brown, Freehold,
was elected President, DIR. Joseph C.

MOVE TO SAVE
CITY BUILDING
Old City Stables Gradually
Being DemoIished-Police
Given Orders by Chief

The two story brick building for
merlv used by the city as municipal
stables in the rear of the Lincoln

being torn down-the work bei,g
that of persons who desire either o

joyment they get out of destroy.rt;
the property of others.
The building has not been occ'.-
pied for a year, but one CLINT .
at the building today would 2
one the impression that it had been
allowed to go to rack and rum
many years ago. First the window
panes al disappeared. Next the win
day frames and sashes mysteriously
absented themselves Now the doors
have been found to be missing aad
the slate roof is commencing to,
disappear.
The change in the buildings ap-
pearance was SO gradual that it es-
capped public notice until recently.
Alderman John j. Clark yesterday
called Chief of Police Niels J. Ton
nesen's attention to the condition of
the building and all patrolmen on
that beat have now received orders
to make frequent visits to the build
ing in order to prevent further de-
struction. The school board has ask
ed the city to turn the building over
to it SO that classes for cripples
might be held in it. If the destruc-
ton is not stopped at once it might
be cheaper to erect new building,
it is said.
