The health of the city of Warren was fine. If citizens were not run down by automobiles or street cars or trains they had little chance of being cut down by contagious diseases.
The city health board in regular meeting was told by Health Officer G.N. Simpson that there had been only three cases of typhoid in the first 8 1/2 months of 1923. The last case was reported June 22.
The report of Mrs. Grace Burbank, city health nurse, also showed a healthy condition of Warren citizenry. Her detailed list of cases attended showed none to be of contagious disease and many of her calls were made to assist new mothers in caring for children, to make social service investigations or to get information to submit to the Red Cross or other agencies.
Seventy-three calls in July were made on disabled people. During the month of July, 113 calls were made.

A search for stolen goods at a Hubbard Youngstown Road auto wrecking yard was halted Thursday when officers came across what they thought to be hazardous waste.
Warren police went to 2020 Hubbard Youngstown Road in Liberty, one of two locations owned by Liberty Auto Wrecking, to search for a safe stolen months earlier from Lowe’s Home Improvement store in Warren. They came across 55-gallon drums leaking noxious fumes.
Police called workers with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the environmental enforcement division of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification to investigate. Warren police Lt. Timothy Bowers said the agencies told police to stop digging because the liquid in the barrels could be a fire hazard.

Over the course of several weeks, the Warren YMCA had seen close to $50,000 worth of improvements, including the replacement of 30 windows and refinishing a large gym floor.
Rich Denamen, interim director, said all the windows on the first and second floors of the building were replaced.
“We were in the process of doing a window campaign to get new windows. Whatever windows were sold, we used those dollars to make other improvements at the YMCA,” he said.
He said all 30 windows sold.
He said a grant from the Youngstown Foundation was used to refinish the big gymnasium floor.
