THE MILK ORDER.
A Claim That 1t Freezes Out the Poor
Dealers.


The Heath and Police Committee of the
Board of Supervisors took the question of
the proposed milk ordinance under con-
sideration yesterday. No conclusion was
reached in the matter, and the subject went
over until next Tuesday morning.
There were a number of milkmen and
dairymen at the meeting.
a. j. Clunie, representing the smaller
dealers. protested against the passage of
the milk order in its present shape. He
said the order was in the interests of the
large dealers, who desired 10 wipe out the
small milkmen. Clunie also objected to
DR.. johnson, whom the Board of Health
propose 10 appoint as the milk inspector
under the new order. Clunie said that he
had information that DR.. johnson was not
a citizen.
DR.. johnson was called and stated that
he only had been in this country fifteen
months, having come from Australia.
Attorney George A. Knight. represent
ing The Board of Health, objected to
Clunie's meth cd of examination, and said
it was no disgrace to be foreigner.
Clunie claimed that the whole milk
scheme had been engineered by DIR. john
son. who desired to create a place for him.
self. He also insisted that the laws on the
statute books relating to the sale of pure
milk were amply sufficient and that there
was 10 need to assess poor dealers to pay
the salary of milk inspector.
On the suggestion of Chairman Kennedy
of the committee the subject was continued
until the next meeting.

constructed so that it cannot possibly come
apart when the steamer gets to tugging

chase and binds the logs at the ends and
through the middle of the raft.

vanity tiokled to know that we are
not the silliest people in the world,
even while we are lamenting that our
politicians are stultifying themselves
with pleas similar TO that Of Chancellor
