A hearing was given to the pro posed new health inspection or dinance before the ordinance com mittee of the city council last night.. It had been announced as I a public affair, and the public was i invited to come in and file Its ap proval or objections. Only " two men attended to peak, and they were seeking information rather than registering serious objec tions. The committee finally decided to report the ordinance to tha council for its action. A com panion ordinance, to give the city police power of inspecting estab lishments where food i3 sold, was favored unanimously. As first drawn, the ordinance covered all persons handling foods, including cannery em ployes, requiring an examination every six months and a health certificate before one could go to work. This was amended to elim inata canning factories. Some of the councilmen were of the opin ion that the state law would be sufficient to handle all cases un less it wa3 shown in the discus sion that some very flagrant cases of virulent infections have been found that would have been im possible under a close licensing system. The measure was aimed especially to reach one or two questionable eating establish ments where the police have had. trouble In the past, j Sy ' The measure will come up be fore the full council for action at the next regular session. - entered into a contract with the linn which had made the low bid for the work-and, from press re ports, it now appears that these contractors are being asked to bold up construction until the su preme court passes upon some : oint already acted upon by the lower court. : Delay Called Unnecessary "These repeated and 1 unneces sary delays are preventing the completion of this highway upon which several hundred thousand dollars of federal aid has already been spent. If the contractor is now prevented from getting an early start, the project, 12 miles in" length, cannot be completed this1 season. The public will be denied the benefit of the full use of: projects already constructed and It will probably be necessary to re-advertise the work later on, at which time much higher prices may reasonably be expected. "It is pointed out: that the United States government has agreed to pay over 61 per cent of the cost of this project, and we feel that further delays are un reasonable and contrary to public interest. "We therefore request that the construction of this project and of the Holmes Gap-Rickreall pro ject be expedited." ij HEAVY STORM FATAL TO MANY (Continued from page 1) from Hinsonand Jackson, Tenn., late tonight.
