be prepared in a certain manner. No one can offer milk for sale without
a permit from the Board of Health, and this permit is only granted when
the inspectors have assured themselves that the applicants have clean
and airy places in which to handle the milk.

The Sanitary Code covers everything that applies to our health and
comfort, and, as you may suppose, its rules are very far-reaching.

The new rule proposed by the Police Commissioner is to the effect that
no surface car shall be sent around any curve at a greater rate of speed
than two miles an hour.

This rule, if passed, will put an end to the horrors of Dead Man's
Curve, as the Fourteenth-Street curve has come to be called, for at this
slow pace the passengers will have no difficulty in keeping their feet,
and the pedestrians will easily be able to get out of the way of the
cars.

It will be two weeks before this rule can be made part of the Sanitary
Code, and during that time arguments for and against it will be heard by
the Department.

If the Health Board will only follow this rule with another, forbidding
the overcrowding of cars, New Yorkers will have a chance of getting
comfortable service from the car systems.
