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

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

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
