Another New Industry Possible Toronto Aug. 5, 1908. The Reeve, Port Perry Ont. Dear sir :--1 wonld be pleased to tearn what inducement, if any, your town is willing to offer an industrial manufacturing business to be called the Arnold Patent Spring & Hinge Co. Ltd., as we are open for the best offer Attain- able in every respect. Would give employment to from 100 to 200 hands as business requires. Yours very truly SS. Arnold THE BOARD OF HEALTH To the Editor of the STAR-- Dear Sir: There have been some cases of typhoid in town recently, and I have not yet heard of any move on the part of the Board of Health to enquire into the cause of the trouble or to. see if anything can be done to prevent further outbreak. Do the Board have regular meet- ings, and inspections of the town ? I bave not heard of such, and if the Board is not busy, it cannot be because there is nothing to do. Many outhouses arein a very dirty condition, and I have heard'it said that pigs are kept within the cor- poration boundaries. These mat- ters should surely receive the at- tention of the Board of Health. While speaking of this matter, I would like to know if the Board of Health are paid for their services. Although the Municipalities of Reach and Cartwright both pay their health officers, I have never seen any appropriation in thé Port Perry estimates for that purpose. If the Board of Health are appointed they should pe expected to perform the duties of their office and should be paid for their ser- vices. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for the courtesy afforded me in the use of your columns, Yours truly, RATEPAYER, GRELNBANK rett received a telegram from Swift Cur- rent stating his son George had been smothered by Gas.
