THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1929 BOARD OF HEALTH MAY GONDEMN THE GARAGE HOUSES (Continued from page 3) made to erect a permanent home on the lot. There was no building in- spector to see that the one year clause in the building permit was carried out, and the Board of Health could not intervene until complaints were received regarding the sanitary conditions. On account of the lack of plumbing facilities, and the neces- sity of the residents establishing out houses, these complaints have re- cently become numerous, and the Board decided to take action, at its meeting last night. : Many of these garage dwellings are found in some of the better resi- dential parts of the city, including : Division street, French street, Alma street and other locations. . They have not only made for an unsani- tary situation but have proven a nuisance and an eyesore to neigh- boring residents who have establish- ed fine homes, said the sanitary in- spector. It has also been pointed out by civic officials that people living in these houses pay taxes on only a small assessment, and the amount of school taxes that they pay would be small in comparison with the actual cost of educating any children they might be sending to the city schools. City Might Instal The sanitary situation might be helped to a considerable extent, Mr. Hubbell said, by the adoption of the city of Oshawa of a system of hav- ing the municipality install the sani- tary conveniences and charge it to the residents 9n installments on the tax bill. This system is working put satisfactorily in. London and about a dozen other Western Ontario cities, and would enable many resi- dents here to install plumbing where they are now unable to pay for it in a lump sum. From the standpoint of the resi- dents of these houses, Mr. Hubbell pointed out that most of them were families in which the husband has been out of work for some time or had suffered considerable illness in the family that had prevented him from proceeding with his plan of erecting .a permanent home. This made it hard to deal with the situa- tion, ag the city did not feel like condemning houses and evicting people who were endeavoring to do their best to make ends meet. On the other hand, there were undoubt- edly some who had moved into this type of house and were finding a cheap means of getting along, with out any particular ambition to im= prove the lot, and who had no real intention of building a permanent So crisp Ne-- > Here's a breakfast treat that's so crisp it crackles in milk or cream!

During the month of March, 1929 the annual convention of the As- sociation of Plumbing and Drain Inspectors, was held in the city of Brantford, on the 22nd and 23rd of the month, Your representative pressed very [strongly the pleasure it would af- ford the City of Oshawa, to have the Association hold the annual convention for 1930 in our city, but there were other cities who haa been bidding for the association to meet in their respective munici- palities, and it was decided that Peterboro would be the next place of meeting. The president of the association wished .me to convey to the City Council, and the local Board of Health ,their kind appreciation of the invitation extended to the as- sociation, from year to year, and was of the opinion that it would likely be accepted in the near fu- ture. Measles Epidemic Returning to affairs which are purely our own, permit me to say, that since the 19th of March, we have been hit very hard with an epidemic of measles, During the early part of March, the first 19 days to be correct, there were 170 cards placed on various homes in our city and al- so 157 were released from quarau= tine. During the remaining 11 days there were 218 cards put up, and 158 released from quarantine. It might be well to mention that during the past two weeks it has been very difficult to travel on some of our dirt streets. This in itself has been a great disadvan- tage to the posting of cards, as per the requirements. SIX HERDS GIVEN TUBERCULIN TEST INMONTH OF MARCH (Continued from page 3) cial Laboratory for Bacteriological Analysis, re bacteria and butter fat tests. Samples of raw cream supplied to the bakeries were also forward- ed for analysis, and in addition to the above eighty sediment tests were taken . A number of herds were also submitted to the suberculin test, but owing to the almost impass- lable condition of the roads in rural districts, and the fact that the balance of the un-tested herds are more or less scattered, this part of the work was rendered a little more difficult to carry out. Meat. Inspection The vast quantity of meat con- sumed in Oshawa where this food- stuff is plentiful and comparative- ly low in price renders it of essen- tial importance that nothing but approved and nutritious meat pro- ducts be placed on the market. mately 300 animals were slaugh- tered at local slaughter houses. This by no means represents the entire monthly consumption. of meat marketed in Oshawa, as large quantities are daily trucked in by establishments under fed- eral inspection. A number of local slaughter houses in addition to supplying our own municipality with meat, also supply the towns. of Whitby, and Bowmanville, The manager of one slaughter house requested the privilege of {advertising his products "Inspect- ed and Approved." This illus- trates that in order to meet com- petition you must cater to your customer, and public health de- mands the purity of all animal food products. In addition to inspections car- ried out at the slaughter houses, some time was also spent visiting the butcher shops, and inspection of the ingredients used in the manufacture of fancy and cooked meats. Control of meat products does not cease at the slaughter house. A check is also kept on the stor- age of these perishable foodstuffs in the shops. Some exceptionally choice young ef has been slaughtered during he month. The quality of the calves handled has also been of aged, and fattened before slaugh- ter. One complaint in which meat consumed was supported to have caused sickness in a family was thoroughly investigated. Later a portion of the meat in question was consumed by the manager of the store from which it originated and also a quantity cooked and consumed by myself with no harm- ful after effects. : During the month one entire carcass had to be condemned for generalized tuberculosis.

OSHAWA Phor 12 ano |{]} ll 'Federal cavalrymen REBEL FORCE 13 DESTROYED IN FIERCE BATTLE (Continued from Page 1) overtake and "exterminate" the flee: ing remnants of the rebel army which aviators sighted at dusk yesterday. General Almazan's cavalry were brought up from La Reforma and hoped to overtake two bodies of rebel troops carly today. General Al- mazan expected his horse to be well past Santa Rosalia at daybreak. General Calles, in a message President Portes Gil reinarked: "Mr. President, you will note the defeat of the rebels was most deci- sive and even though the dispersed groups may continue to unite there is no possibility they will offer any resistance anywhere else in the state of Chihuahua, Soon the traitors will be exhibiting their shameless cow- ardice in foreign lands." . He forwarded official estimates of the carnage at La Reforma, the fig- ures speaking even more eloquently than the words of General Almazan's official report Wednesday night, in which it was said "the veritable but- chery among them was stupendous." Rebel dead in the La Reforma ac- tion, General Calles said, exceeded 1,000, wounded--who usually in bat- tles far outnumber the dead--num- bered only 500. There were 2,000 pri- soners, The dead were said to lie in great stacks at La Reforma while arrangements for disposal of the bo- dies were made. General Calles said he Kad not had time to check up on federal casualties. Conveyances streamed back from La Reforma all day to Jiminez bring- ing the wounded, both rebel and fed- to i eral, 300 of whom were to be taken to hospitals at Monterey, Nuevo Le- on, and the remainder to Aguascali- entes and Torreon. These latter in- cluded those rebel wounded who re- mained helpless in the cars of the troop trains during the La Reforma attack. Short of Ammunition Juarez, Chihuahua, Arp. 5.--Evacu- ation by insurgents of their base at Jimenez after a four day assault by federal troops was attributed to shortage of ammunition by rebel General Gonzalo Escobar in a mes- sage to the Associated Press today. . Rebel Amy Smashed Mexico City, April 5.--The malin army of the Mexican Kevolution was smashed to pieces in one of the bloodiest battles in revolu- tionary history when a pursuing Federal army caught up with an in- surgents' troop trains at La Refor- ma, State of Chihuahua, and fed- eral cavalry is hotly pursuing the scattered bands of once powerful force, Eight hundred rebel dead lay in three heaps beside the railroad tracks at La Reforma and one thousand wounded were being car- ed for by the Federals when the Associated Press Correspondent with Federal Commander Almaz- an's army arrived at the battlefield. General Almazan had not com- pleted his check of Federal casual- ties, which were temporarily put at 42 killed and an undetermined number of wounded. The insurgent leaders escaped, Generals Escobar and Urbalejo getting away from Jimenez in auto- mobiles on April 2. A force of 2,100 rebels, the last to abandon Jimenez on April 2, was caught at La Reforma by Federal cavalry and airplanes as destroyed railway bridges were being fever- ishly repaired. The work had been completed and the troop train was only a quarter of a mile short il very windows of the cars, where | some of of the last repaired bridge on the road to safety and Chihuahua City when Federal cavalry came up af- ter a long chase. Abandoned by Leaders Abandoned by their ieaders, the insurgents made a desperate stand against the fierce charges of the under Gen- eral Anacieto Lopez, forming a line at right angles to the railroad, and firing from the scanty shelter of the stalled train. Federal cavalry charged into the their dead were iawr found, and, equipped with light machine guns, rifles and antomat- ics, mowed down the rebels.

Insurgent forces left between La Reforma and Chihuahua City are estimated at about 3,500, General Almazan gave the main body of his troops a rest at La Reforma, while his cavairy pursu- ed rebel cavalry northwards in an effort to force another battle, Despite the increasing produc- tion of atmospheric nitrogen in other countries Chile last year has a record production of 31,630,000 metric quintals of nitrates.
