The state board of health warns business men that persons pretending to be Inspectors are appearing in various places, and after finding fault with alleged ’’unsanitary" conditions, offer to ‘‘settle out of court." All such are frauds, and will be punished for impersonating officers, if they are detected. No business man need permit an inspection without first seeing the badge and certificate of appointment of the inspector—moreover, if he offers a settlement, know that he is bogus. No inspector has authority to ’’settle" or to accept the payment of a fine. It seems that bunoolng infests official as well as private life, and eternal vigilence is necessary if one would escape the sharpers. Try the classified column.
