TEST STREET AIR
 FOR CARBON GAS
New York to Find fl Health Is Affected

New York, July lo--Health Com missioner Frank J. Monaghan start ed an investigation yesterday to dis cover whether carbon monoxide ex- tsts in the atmosphere of any part of New York city in such quantities as to be injurious to health.
 Samples of air were taken at sev- eral corners where the automobile traffic is heavy and the air carried 10 the City Testing Laboratories at 30 Worth street. where new apparatus has been installed for the exact de- termination of the amount of the deadly gas In the air.
 Carbon monoxide is the chief in- dustrial poison in existence today its victims exceeding in number the vic. tins of lead poisoning According 10 physiologists of Yale. who have cop ducted careful tests of carbon mon oxide, in order to determine the ven- tilation necessary in vehicular tun- nels, there is enough in the air in some parts of this city 10 impair the health of traffic policemen and oth- CTS who have to breathe 1t constant ly,
 The samples of air were taken yesterday at Fifty-seventh street and Fifth avenue; Forty-seventh and Fifth avenue and Thirty-fo fourth street and Fifth avenue. Later sam ples will be taken fro mvarious parts Of the city. and permanent check will be kept on the amount Of the gas in the air,
 The new apparatus Is a comhina- ton of the device used by the bu- reau of mines and that used by the fixed nitrogen research laboratory to measure the amount of carbon mon- oxide. The sample of air is passed through a Seven-foot series of glass tubes and towers which, by the aid of liquid air and various chemicals remove carbon dioxide, gasoline gas and other impurities. In the end the sample of air, purified of all for eign substances except the monoxide is drawn into a. receptacle contain, ing iodine pentoXide, where two com pounds form carbon dioXide. The amount of oxygen which the iodine compound gives up can be measured very precisely and it show how much carbon monoXide was in the sample This method detects the presence Of carbon monoxide if it is present tc the extent of one part in 300 parts of air.

 OF SOLID SUPPORT
May Not Be Able to Block New Police Proposal

Alderman William II.

 Members of his party are not solidly in back of the republican leaders movement to refuse the po- lice department additional men and cling 10 the belief held by Chairman D. L. Dunn and Chief of Police Will Ham (. Hart that the city Is under poiced.
 The Police Board suggested ap- pointmeht of at least five additional men at the last monthly meeting of the common council, Although a lengthy debate ensued, there was no question raised as to the necessity for more policemen. the only argu- ment having to do with the difficulty of finding the money required. The council voted this problem to the Finance Board to solve and that board found the funds to name three policemen could be spared from the emergency account. It was decided 10 so recommend to the common council.
 With the eight democratic mem hers reported to be solidly behind the Board of Finance and Taxation, and with some members of Judd s own party not in accord with his be liefs, it appeared certain 10 political observers today that close vote will result.
