With the business man ager, Mr. Fuller said the council could be made an administrative body purely and that all details could be handled by the business manager.

The speaker believes that a change in the present form of borough government can be brought about by an amendment to the present Borough t'ode He declared he understands that, it will require much preliminary work in educating the people to the advantages of this plan, but said that it will be fought only by the politi cians who thrive on ward government and partisan politics.

By the use of figures, Mr. Webbert showed ] 'how, within the past few years, the death rate due to typhoid fever, has been greatly reduced. He recom mended the naming of efficient men on the boards of health of the various towns and said that he already under stood that municipalities, as a rule, have a hard time getting good men to serve. This should not be so, he said, tor the health board is one of the most important in any town and men in all walks of life should be glad to take an active part in securing good health regulations and enforcing them in a community. Sir. Webbert stated, too, that local boards should pay more at tention to the so-called diseases of childhood and enforce the quarantine laws 011 all contagious and infectious diseases. He also urged the boroughs to work in harmony with the State Department and cited one instance where a school board -refused to test tlie authority of the Commissioner of Health while an epidemic was given an opportunity to spread. He said the board of health in the town re quested the school board to close the schools for a few days. The school directors refused and then the State Department of Health issued the order. Again the directors refused and when questioned they said they only wanted to test the commissioner's authority. In the meantime the epi j domic was spreading.

Hugh Reber, of New York City, was I another speaker at the morning ses sion and he told of the system of ac i counting in New York City, which i could, to a certain extent be applied to the boroughs of Pennsylvania. Joseph T. Tracy, of Ohio, mu nicipal supervisor of Inspection and Supervision of Public Officers, in that ' State was another speaker who urged | uniformity and system in the boroughs of Pennsylvania. Charles Walter, Borough Solicitor of Chambersburg, was chairman of the meeting this morning. Afternoon Session At the session this afternoon the first speaker was W. D. B. Ainey, chairman of the Public Service Com mission who talked on the "Relation ; of the Public Service Commission to , j the Boroughs and Their Duties." Mr. ! Ainey was followed by W. W.

Following the addresses there was a round table discussion , and then the by-laws and constitu . tion of the organization were brought , up for ratification.

Tolls of Building: Code E. A. Weimer. of Lebanon, president of the building code commission of Pennsylvania, was the last speaker at the session yesterday afternoon and the talked of the code which will be i presented at the next session of the j Legislature for passage. Mr. Wei j mer pointed out some of its advan (tages, saying that by State law no ! porches or bay windows would be 1 permitted to be constructed over the building line. Fire plugs, too, would i have a uniform sized outlet, accord in to the code, so that when fiamos j necessitated the calling out of fire 1 companies from other towns, no diffi i culty will be experienced in making ; proper hose connections. Fireproof walls between every two houses in I a row will be another feature of the I code and the measure will also provide ! for safety partitions in homes. Proposed Borougli Code Another speaker late yesterday af ternoon was Nelson McVicker, of Alle gheny county, who helped frame the I borough code. He talked of the his i tory of that measure and gave a num j ber of interesting facts pertaining to HARRJSBURG TELEGRAPH the measure. Among other things he said: "The borough code means to the boroughs of Pennsylvania, that they ] now have in one book, a clear, full, j complete, logical and systematic gen eral statute law relating to boroughs, easy of reference, so that the citizen, borough officer, solicitor or judge may | find the law with comparative ease. "The future policy of the State in relation to borough laws, should be i to make all accessions to the present j law, or changes thereof, a part of the code, until the conditions inquire j the enactment of a new code. This Is necessary in order to prevent a repe tition of the uncertain and confused {condition of the law which existed I prior to the enactment of the act of 1915. Also, it may be wise, to bring 1 the boroughs operating by virtue of local charters, under the code, so that jwe may have all boroughs governed by the same general system of law."
