MILK BOTTLES NOT
PROPERLY CLEANED
Hearing Is Given to Dealers
and Complainants.
WHAT Mr.. STEWART SAID
Receptacles Taken by Drivers and Re
filed Without First Having
Been Even Rinsed.

On motion Of Commissioner Macfar-
land, the District Board today appoint
ed a public hearing for next Thursday
at II o'clock for persons interested in
the PRONUNCIATION of a regulation for
greater cleanliness of milk bottles.
1t is alleged milk dealers are care
less in cleansing bottles before filling
them, and thus vitiate the milk supply,
furnished to the people of the city. The
Commissioners before taking action de-
sire to hear alike what the complainants
have TO say and the views of the milk
men on the subject.
Some days ago the matter was
brought to the attention of the Commits
sfoners through a letter written by Sen
ator William NJ. Stewart to the Health
Officer, describing certain abuses of
which he had become cognizant Sen
ator Stewart said some drivers of milk
wagons were accustomed to take bottles
from customers along their routes and
fill them from cans in their wagons
without cleansing the bottles at all.
Using Dirty Bottles.
Some of the bottles would not be
washed out by the customers. Others
would be left in places where they
would accumulate dust and filth OF vari
Gus kinds. Others would be used for
some foreign purpose and contain SUBJ
stance deleterious 10 milk.
Senator Stewart suggested that the
employment OF inspectors On the milk
farms was working at the wrong end.
He thought inspectors ought TO be en-
ployed in the city TO watch the drivers
of the wagons, and TO insist upon sani-
tary practices at this end of the route.
He declared that while the milk supply
might be pure as it left the farm, it was,
in fact, vitiated by wrong methods of
storage and handling after it reached
the city. One Of the worst abuses. he
Thought, was that complained of.
Having his attention called TO the
matter in this way, the Health Of
ficer determined to set inspectors to
watching the drivers at the time OF the
delivery of milk, and this has been go
ing or foS two weeks or more. He has
found enough TO warrant regular .inspec-
ton. and the Health Officer will now
engage Two or three inspectors on this
work, and seek to stop the abuses OF
which Senator Stewart and others have
complained.
New Rules Impending.
DR. Woodward and Commissioner Mac
farland had q long conference over the
matter today, and a plan was worked
out TO employ the inspectors as sug-
! gested.
The question OF promulgating severer
| regulations than those now in force will
| be considered after the hearing next
Thursday. II is probable from what the
Health officer will then have to report
that the regulations may be amended
to cover the specific abuse Of using dirty
! bottles in serving milk TO customers.
The authorities feel that everything in
reason should be done TO protect and
keep pure the milk supply. because 1t

ANY CHANGE Is OPPOSED
Expresses Her Dissatisfaction With
Constant Tinke1ing With Plans for
White House Beautifcation.

Mrs Roosevelt has given indisputable
evidence OF her disapproval of the con-
slant experimenting with various plans
of adornment for the Identification Of
the White House mansion and terraces.
The first lady of the land, in conse-
quence of the unending tinkering and
changing about which has been going on
for some time past. has given orders
that hereafter no changes are to be
made until they have received her ap-
proval, and that meanwhile the White

Took Action Yesterday.

The final incident which impelled Mrs.
Roosevelt TO make known her opposition
TO the use OF the official residence of
the President as sort of experimental
workshop, where theoretical plans might
be tested, came yesterday. The repre-
sentative OF the nurserymen who had
furnished the bay trees and lockwood
bushes for the adornment OF the terrace
arrived at the White House with in
structions from Architect C. F. McKim
to remove all the lockwood bushes. sew
enty-two in number, and ship them back
to his firm at Rutherford, n. ]. The
explanation given was not that they
were unsatisfactory as specimens, but
unsuitable"
The Washington times., 1903-05-12
The Architects Objections.

According to reliable estimate, the
cost of the bay trees and boXwood
bushes sent here and placed on the east
and west terraces and the porte cochere
at the north front of the mansion was
between 5000 and $1,000 1t is said
that Mr. McKim's objection to the box
wood bushes was that, although they
looked we'll in themselves, they were not
sufficiently imposing to adorn the ter
races.
More costly ones with box-shaped
tops were desired, and this is believed
to have been the reason for his ordering
the removal of the first lot of y speci-
mems. They are OF three sizes and are
generally sold at from SO TO S5 apiece.
1t is not believed that the Government
paid any less than the market price for
them.

Nurseryman's Agent Halted.

The nurserymen's agent was accom-
panied by several helpers and pho
tographer. The latter proceeded to take
some pictures OF the terraces, showing
the effect by the ball-topped and pyra-
midal-shaped trees. When this was ac-
complished the helpers were about to
remove the lockwood bushes, as ordered
by Mr.. McKim. when word came TO the
foreman that Mrs Roosevelt wished the
terrace adornments to remain cxactl;
as the ere. Ti:.e agent and his men
accordingly Withdrew.
Some weeks ago q local Daper an
nounced that Mrs. Roosevelt had ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the bog
wood trees and had ordered them re-
moved. On inquiry. this report was Of
icially. denied, and from another source
it was declared that the order had come
from Mr.. Mckim personally AT any
rate. when the representatives of the
nurserymen attempted TO carry out the
order. he was Immediately stopped al

No Further Changes.

Further changes, therefore. will await
Mrs. Rooseyelt's pleasure. Whether the
architect viii convince her that the
beauty OF the mansion can be enhanced
by the substitution OF some other plan
for the one first experimental with re-
mains to be seen. Mrs. Roosevelt seems
TO have given plain indication, how
ever. that she expects TO be consulted
before further changes are made in her
own home.
