were not satisfactory, they could he
changed subject to the approval of the
alder, en-
A derman Randall said that Mr.. Krutz

MO RE ABOUT MILK AND VINEGAR
President Pagan introduced an order in
regard to the regulations as to the in
spection of milk and vinegar. In section
2 it was proposed to leave out the word
annually so that the dealers shall not
be forced to file annually statement
of the name, residence and place of bust
ness.
| The order also provides that when the
dealer has once filed his certificate, it
shall continue in force until the ordi-
nance is amended or repealed. At the
present time the dealer has to file his
certificate every year and pay the inspec-
tor % cents each time. There is no need
of this and no value to anyone except to
the inspector.
This order came up from tho lower
board for concurrence The aldermen
wanted to know more about this matter
before deciding in regard to it.
Alderman Randall and Smith declared
that the kinds of vinegar ought to be
specified, since there are as many nova
days as there are styles of hats.
Alderman Smith declared that they
made vinegar now by the same formular
that they make Portland whiskey, only
the latter has little more burnt sugar
In it. /.
1t was decided to lay the matter upon
| the table.
