Prosecution to Follow Violation
 in Main Street Store

If meat found unfit for human consumption is found again in the Strauss Roth store on Main street. it will be condemned and prosecu- ton will be brought forthwith. it was decided at the monthly meeting of the board of health today. Dr. l.. J. Dumont, superintendent, re- ported that six days after quantity of meat was condemned and unsan- itary conditions found in the store, an inspector found 25 pounds of meat which was not fit for human consumption and while there has been an improvement in conditions in general, the situation is not en- tirely satisfactory, the board was told.
 There are two city ordinances and a state regulation covering the situ- ation, Dr. Dumont said, and tie commissioners took the view that ample consideration has been given the company in charge of the store and the next violation will result in police court case.
 It was decided also that the in- spectors in making their rounds in the future will leave printed copies of the regulations in stores where conditions are. not entirely satisfac- tory, in order to eliminate the sub terfuge that the proper instructions were not given verbally.
 The garbage collection contract held by Louis Schmidt will expire in April, 1881, and it was voted to call i for bids to be in the hands of the health department not later than Nov. IS, in order that provision for
 the cost of handling the garbage
 may be made in the budget for the next fiscal year. Schmidt's contract
 was for three years, but there is 8 | possibility that the new contract
 may be for one year, although this
 feature has not been definitely de.
 cided.
 Dr. Dumont reported that a Unit ed States public health departmen, | inspector has been in New Britain on a tour of the country, and his report on the condition of dairies and other points in his inspection will be available shortly.

UPHOLDS
WILL TERMS

In an opinion constituting the
will of Call Me Henry" Lans-
burgh, late official Of Lansburgh
& Bro, who died November %,
1925, the District Court Of Ap-
peals has upheld the terms Of
the will to the fullest extent.
The well-known philanthropist
and merchant left an estate
valued in excess of 1926, 900, and
bequeathed various sums to more
than % charitable institutions of
every creed in the city. The be-
quests called for a charge against
the stock of the corporation Of
which he was member and the
trustees and executors asked the
court to sanction the intention
of the testator at the time he
made the will.
The court holds that all the
legacies are payable out of the
income and principal of the es-
tate, and pointed out that the
mere declaration that certain be-
quests shall be a charge against
the stock of the firm does not es-
tablish a priority of those bequests
over others.

WINCHESTER, Va, Feb. s.
While engaged in scraping the
roadway near Cross junction, - in
this county, Wilbur Strother was
overcome by carbon monoxide
fumes from the exhaust of the
gasoline engine operating the
scraper.
He fell in the roadway uncon-
scious; however, he almost imme-
diately recovered, and fellow
workmen, thinking he had merely
slipped and fallen in the SNOW,
went on with their work.
Strother walked by the engine
for a short distance and again
was overcome by the fumes and
fell.
This time he was picked up and
taken to a nearby store and
restoratives applied, and for a
little while his condition seemed
serious, but later he recovered
consciousness and is improving
