ured In this State. known as the
Royal" alum and other Baking Pow
ffers are advertised for sale as absoiu-

OPINIONS OF A KICKER
He Waats the Ordinance COMMITTEES To
Take Brace

''The council committee on ordi-
nanees seems 10 have fallen into a
cataleptic state,'' remarked a city
official yesterday. We know that
there Is such a committee, but its
periods ol activity are irregular and
spasmodie. II 1 remember correctly
there are about a dozen ordinances
before il, and several oi them have
passed their first and second reading,
but q period OF restful calm has fallen
upon the members, and ordinances are
81 standsrill. The ordinance for
reporting births which should have
been presented and adopted long ago,
in compliance with the terms OF the
amended charter, has as Yet failed TO
put in an appearance, and the ordi-
nance for the inspec tion of milk and
other food seems To have been pigeon
holed. These are but two OF many
that should be presented. There is
another matter that should be at
tended TO without delay. the ordi-
nance in regard TO sewers and drains
Is practically imperative because of
the manner prescribed for the serving
OF notices upon property owners. The
city ordinance requires owners of prop
erty located within 100 feet of "A sewer
to put I'm laterals for the draining OF
their property whenever such drainage
may be deemed necessary for the
health and comfort OF the community.
That + all right: but the ordinance
goes ON TO specify that notice to that
effect must he served upon the prop y -
owners by either the chief OF police or
the city marshal Roth OF these Off
cials are sis busy as they can be with
other matters, and consequently IL Il
next to impossible 10 get a notice
served. The ordinance should he
amended so as TO authorize the serv-
ing of such notices by any police con-
stable or employe of the marshals
office. and then the ordinance would
be OF some use. Another thing that
needs amending Is the clause authoriz-
ing the mayor to appoint one or more
scavengers as he may see fit. The
scaycnger work should be done under
the direction of one man and then some
account might be kept OF il. They
tell me in the health office that orders
are given out 10 some of the scavengers
AMI they will sometimes fail 10 reprt
for five Of six weeks. II this work was
done under the supervision of one man
the board could know what is done
from day TO day."
