stI do not think" said Judge Kemp,
"thst dairy that is kept clean and
neat and is not a menace to health can
be molested. [ do not believe the
court of appeals would uphold such
action on the part of the city"
Clerk Catlin, who runs dairy him
self, said there WAS already an Or
dinance against nuissnces and Mr..
Burton said he thought the passage of
q sweeping ordinance, such as recon-
mended by the board of health, would
work as serious injustice to a num-
Der of parties, who were engaged In
the dairy business. It seemed to be !
the sen timent of some members OF the |
board that the ordinance in the form !
as recommended should be adopted and !
John Drummer moved its adoption in
stanter.
