Sanitary Inspector
Is Making Survey

Frank G.. Veatch, of Los Angeles,
sanitary inspector Of the state
board Of health, accompanied by C.
A. Hall, county health officer, is
now making very thorough survey
Of all restaurants, butcher shops and
automobile camps in Imperial Coun-
ty, according to report by city
health officers.
The survey is the result Of an in
vestigation started by the death of
two small children, and the illness
Of a dozen more, alleged to have
been caused by violation of the
state food laws by a Westmorland
restaurant.
This survey is expected, by those
in charge, to reveal other cases of
unsanitary conditions now existing
in Imperial Valley, and will, it is
thought, result in a general cleanup
and strict adherence to sanitary
and health regulations, as Vcatch re
ports that many of the places sell
ing food are not observing the laws
of sanitation.
