The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-10-24

The board. Dr. Charles A. Mohr pre- siding. discussed the report at coa- siderable length.
 A certain clause in the city mil:a inspection ordinance reads ,hus,
 All cows found to be suffering from diseases liable to render the milk from said cows unwholesorc shall be at once removed from the herd and insulated. and .hall not be used again for milch purposes until cured, or if said disease be incurable or tuberculosis, shall be at once taken too the slaughtering pens and then slaughtered and carcasses be dispos- ed of in the manner directed by the board of HeaIth."
 The question with the board is as to its power in disposing of the ca.- tie. While the law apparently gives that body power in the premises, 1t seems that body is not anxious to shoulder the burden of having the cattle slaughtered.
 There is some talk. though not coming from the board that such con- demned cattle might be taken from the herds, slaughtered and sold for beef, Dr. Peterson, the milk inspector in reply to a query. remarked that as and would say nothing as to the dis position of the carcasses in event of their being slaughtered.
