At a meeting of the city council on June 8, the ordinance that had previously been approved and recommended by the Utah State Board of Health, was passed, and it ap. pears elsewhere in this issue of the Journal. The ordinance revises Sec. tion 56, Chapter 6, revised ordinances of Helper City, Utah, 1925. Under caption "Definitions," the ordinance refers to restaurants, itinerant restaurtants, employees, utensils, health officers, and persons. Under each sub.heading the specific duties of each establishment or in. dividual is set forth, and if followed 'o the letter there would be little fear of an epidemic ever starting in the city from such places as referred to in the ordinance. The mayor and city council backed by the Board of Health, have empha. sized that the ordinance will be en. found furred, and any proprietor guilty of such violations will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and will run the chance of having his' place of business con. denined and closed. No city official or member of the Board of Health want to be. forced to enforce the ordinance by such means as referred to above. At the same time they are hopeful each operator of a business as referred to in the ordinance will become familiar with the rules and will then govern himself accordingly. THANKS HELPERS Mrs G. L.
