The resolution directing’ this course was adopted by s majority vote, those in favor being understood to be Commissioners Ben. son, Haney, Plummer and Thompson, with Commissioner Hill opposed and the position of Chairman O'Connor un- revealed.

No New Development. Decision to transmit its views was reached by the board at a time when President Coolidge had indicated that he wanted full information on the situation between the board and the Fleet Corporation and after he had digcussed the questions ct issue with Chairman O'Connor &nd Commis. sloners Hill and Plummer.

Fowler to amend the health regulations, to require fodstuffs to be kept in sani- tary contamers when on display and to prevent promiscuous handling -of foods. £ Percival Marshall, attorney for the TLouisiana Avenue Merchants’ Associa- tion, contended with vigor that house- wives, when they go marketing, seem to want the privilege of determining how tender meat is before'they pur- chase it. Mr. Marshall tried to show the Commissioners what a ' problem the dealers would face if they tried to tell housewiyes they could nottouch 2 plece of meat before buying it. Commenting on the new regulations as a whole, spokesmen for the market dealers and the storeleepers took the general position that the proposed amendments are both unreasonable and unnpecessary. _Mr. Marshall told the Commission- ers Dr. Fowler has ample authority under existing law to reach any deal- er who sells unfit products, He as- serted that the dealers themselves are anxious to prepare and handle their foodstufts in the best possible manner in_order to improve their business. Health Officer Fowler told the Com- missioners with equal emphasis that the new rules are not unreasonable or unnecessary. He sald the existing regulations are designed principally to prevent the sale of unwholesome foods, while the ‘amendments are in- tended to protect foods on display from_ dust, insects and promiscuous handling. Commissioner Fenning asked Mr, Marsball -why objection was being raised it the Health Department sl- ‘réady. has sufficient authority to do what is {8 aiming at.

E. C. Brandenburg, an attorney, raised strenuous objection to a clause which he said would require the wrap- ping of all bread in wax paper. Mr. Bradenburg declared some buyers do not want wrapped bread that un. wrapped bread for those who prefer it can be kept in a sanitary manner. ‘There was a difference of opinion be- { tween Mr. Brandenburg and Dr. Fowl- er as to the meaning of the new regu- lation with regard to bread. Dr. Fowler sald it would not require the wrapping of all loaves, but meant only that the bread should be covered. Mr. Brandenburg insisted the language, if adopted into a regulation, would mean the separate wrapping of all bread.
