In explanation of the position taken
by the association, President McCarrOn
addressed the meeting. He considered
the efforts of the health department TO
enforce the ordinance as amounting prac-
)
mems rights. Said he:
1T has come ato my attention that sew
eral of the members of this association
have allowed inspectors to examine their
herds, but have refused them payment.
That is right. We might as we'll submit
to out and out highway robbery as to
pay the health department for carrying
on the inspection. I advise all members
to allow the inspectors TO examine the
herds if they wish, but not to pay them
a cent. If you don't pay them, they won't
cCme again"
Ole Fedtheim and the firm of McManus
&, Leonard are in bad odor with the rest
of the dairymen. They have allowed the
inspection, of their herds and have paid
the fee demanded by the ordinance. The
matter was brought up at last nights
meeting and Occasioned a hot discussion.
Many of the members were in favor of
eXpelling both members for their action.
After half an hours talk it was suggested
that as the members held stock in the
association and there was no provision
in the bylaws relating to the expulsion
of members, they could not be forced to
leave the association unles they wished
The secretary was then instructed to con-
fer with the associations attorney and
submit the question to his judgment. Ac-
ton was deferred.
