applications. The issue was
brought to a head by Health
Department efforts to force
changes in washbasin facili-
ties in a Georgia avenue res
taurant. The department was
reversed in this case by the
city's Board of Appeals and
Review.
The United States Public
Health Service approved the
changes in the regulations, it
was disclosed.
The Commissioners included
in the amendments to the regu-
lationS a statement that the
city's issuance of a restaurant
or delicatessen license in the
future shall not be regarded
as indicating that the licensee
is in compliance with the laws
and regulations applicable to
such business"
Failure to Comply"
The amendments warn that
licensees shall be subject to
prosecution for failure to COM
ply" with city regulations and
that licenses will be subject to
suspension or revocation.
A comprehensive health in
Spection will continue to be
required for establishments
applying for licenses for the
first time.
OF more than $500 res
taurant license applications re-
ferred to the Health Depart
ment for clearance since last
October. only $40 have been
processed up to today. And
of 1913 delicatessen license ap-
plications, only 126 have been
cleared.
City administrators hope
eventually to make all busi-
ness licenses renewable auto
matically. Some 5000 licenses
in all we're referred to the
Health Department after their
expiration last october. and
the majority have not yet been
proceSsed.

have been awaiting action since
last November.
Under regulations in effect
since 1912, the Health Depart
ment was empowered to hold
UP license renewals for reasons
Of insanitary conditions or nom
compliance with health regu-
lations.
Still Subject to Procedure
New establishments will still
be subject to this procedure.
But annual licenses for estab-
lishmentS already in existence
Ihenceforth will be issued auto
matically.
Establishments will continue
to be subject to Health De-
partment inspection and pos
Sible court action in cases OF
violations, however.
The city has approved some
procedural changes recon-
mended by Health Director
Daniel L. Finucane in connec-
ton with the changes in the
regulations.
One type of notice will apply
to sanitation violations in the
operation of establishments.
A second type of order will
apply to violations involving
equipment and structural con-
ditions. The third type of
notice will relate to improve
ments in equipment and ia
cilities which health inspectors
feel desirable, but which are of
less immediate concern.
The issuance Of any Of the
notices could be followed up
Iby court action. But William

intends to concentrate now on
insanitary conditions and leave
to the future any demands for
