An informal meeting of the city health board was held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of introductory discussion of measures for the carrying out of the regulations for compulsory vaccination as Imposed In the Provincial Act, which went Into effect Jan. HI, and for obtaining larger powers for the city health officer in his war upon impure milk and other foodstuffs.

An order authorized by full committee will be Issued for general vaccination throughout the city and a public station or stations will be established where people may be vaccinated free of charge. Ir.

I'agan, secretary of the Provincial Bnard of Health, was present and urged the committee to do all in theii power to enforce compliance with the act. Ho strongly advocated that each person should be vaccinated In three oi four different places, thus rendering them immune from exposure tu any form of smallpox. Or, Underbill reiterated his recommendation, as made to Ilio council ii: his annual report, that steps he taken to acquire the necessary aul uorlaatlun from the Dominion government empowering him to prosecute vendors of Impure foodstuffs. The department, he explained, bad the authority to condemn such impure food as they rnuld find, but had no authority to prosecute the offending dealers.

Underbill, or such authority as would enable him to institute criminal proceedings in these cases. It having been demonstrated that such authority is unattainable under provincial act. Aid. Stevens took occasion to severely score the News Advertiser for the publication at certain statements contained in an article in yesterday's issue undet the caption of "Need for Pure Food Campaign," the objectionable paragraph being as follows: "On the health committee are members who helped to frame the report concerning the reorganization of the engineeiing department, and the hope it expressec that they will act with as much expedition as was in evidenct when they brought In the report concerning Mr. Clement.

'If one of the aldermen's children fell a victim to the poisoning there is no doubt that action would be Immediately said one civic official." Aid. Stevens characterized these assertions as unjust, unsupported by fact and showing an utter lack of courtesy on the part of the News Advertiser. The aldermen, he said, had always done everything In their power to get beneficial legislation for the health department, and merited no such reflection upon their official integrity. Tin quoted statement of the unnamed civic official was criticized as ill advised and In bad taste. hie a.
