APARTMENT HEAT
2 LAW ADVOCATED
Fowler Urges Proper Temp
erature in Winter and Strict
Food Supervision.

A law requiring the owners of the
apartment houses of the District OF
Columbia to maintain proper degrees
of heat in the apartments of their
buildings during the Winter months
for the safeguarding of the health of
the occupants of the apartments was
advocated by DR.. William G. Fowler,
District health officer, last night in
addressing the public health commit
tee of the Washington Board of Trade.
Members of the committee voted
Endorsement of the proposal and
promised their aid in seeking he
necessary legislation. The Board Of
Trade already is on record in favor
of the proposal.
65 Degree Minimum.
DR.. Fowler tentatively recommended
that a requirement of a minimum
temperature of 65 degrees be estab-
lished for the hours from 10 pm. until
z am, and a minimum temperature
of 70 degrees for the hours from Z
am. until 10 pm
The health officer pointed out that
such a law now is in effect in New
York and said that he had had many
complaints from District apartment
occupants regarding the temperature
maintained in their residences during
the cold Winter months.
In discussing the contagious disease
situation in Washington. DR.. Fowler
said the city was badly in need of a
hospital devoted to the care of con-
tagious diseases, where patients might
be isolated.
Regulation of Restaurants.
The District now is provided with
sufficient number of health inspectors.
with the exception of those assigned
to contagious disease work, said DR..
Fowler. He pointed out that in times
when there is a prevalence of con-
tagious disease here, the number of
such inspectors is inadequate to care
for the situation alone.
DIR. Fowler also advocated stricter
regulation of the restaurants of Wash.
ington in the matter of care of foods
and said he favored a regulation call
ing for all foods on display to be
covered. Members of the public
health committee indicated they
would study this problem.
The meeting was presided over by
DIR. D. Percy Hickling, District alien
ist, who is chairman of the public
health committee.
