ordinance is unnecessary and there is
no reason for its enactment. 1t Is in
the power of the board of health to re-
move any nuisance, within the city
limits, that is liable to cause sickness
or breed pestilence. By the board OF
health combining itself strictly to the
sanitary laws and let specific laws
board is acting with prejudice or
or dairy within the city be inspected
by sanitary officer and if anything is
found there that is considered nuis-
ance, have it removed, no matter who
is affected. No one can then complain
and if they do complain they will not
have the sympathy of the people The
proposed ordinance is obnoxious, and
while it may not be so intended, it GER
| tainly has the marks of favOritism on
| it, and for this reason it will never be
enforced, even if the city council sees
| fit to pass it. 1t were better if the
| subject had never been preached, as
! the health officer has the power to act
| in such cases without the enactment
of an obnoxious ordinance.

AS to dairies within the city limits
it is we'll to say that there is not a
large city in the United States that has
|
the city and there has never been any
com plant about sickness from dairies
so located where proper sanitary con-
ditiOps were observed in its manage
ment. Anyone running dairy will
observe these conditions withOu; being
| told or will soon drop out of the dairy
business. 1t is to the dairyman's utter
est, his own health, the health of his
cows and the sale of his product, that
his lots and barns are kept clean and
healthy. There is no first class dairy
man in FL PasO who would object to
the daily inspection of his milk and
dairy by an official inspector and the
owner of one or two COWS within the
city limits would have to stand the
same inspection, and they would all
favor the appointing of dairy inspect
or above the enactment of the proposed
| cow ordinance.
Harry Chairman, the city scavenger,
says he has dumped no garbage within
the city limits. Harry's wagons take
all the garbage outside of the city.
There is, however, being dumped with
in the city limits the manure from
some stable or lot and this is being
placed on lots, probably with the inten-
ton of raising the lots to the street
grade.
1t is amusing to read in one column
of Phoenix paper that the capital
city is maligned in the east by the al
heat there, and in another column of
| the paper read the following:
| "a successful she'll game of a new
| brand was worked on egg cons lmers
| here yesterday by a farmer who lives
in the valley. This time the farmer
| attempted 10 vic;imize his city cousins
| and all but succe ded. A case of eggs
opened twas found that one of the
eggs had hstched, and Is min
| utes later, when the eggs were expos
ed to the air, a dom chickens we're
peeping. The eggs in the first two
layers all contained chickens. The
| merchant reported that as soon as the
eggs were exposed TO the air the
chickens were hatched. The temper
ature in which tie crate of eggs had
evidently been since the shipment will
not be changed and all the eggs will be
given d chance to hatch. The eggs
which sre Matched must have BEEN in
a temperature of over 80 degrees for
the past three weeks
There are two shows on tonight.
One will be at the city hall and the
other will be in Juerez. There will be
fun at each show and its is hard to say
just at present which will be the great
est attraction.
1t is reported that Ross, the ex-re-
porter of The Mexican Herald of the
| City of Mexico, who decamped few
days since with married woman, sue
ceeded in cashiug check endorsed by
| Editor MCKEE. This may be true, but
| it is thought to be an advertising dodge
gotten out to Increase the circulation
of Ell Paso's only morning paper-the
Telegraph.

bug, is in the clutches of the law again.
