10 Councilman L. c. Brown, the
judiciary committee or somebody
else interfering with the passage Of
the ordinance prohibiting the use
of preservatives in meat?
DR.. Charles V. Genoway, head Of
the health department, recon-
mended the passage of the ordi-
nance six weeks ago. At that
time Brown moved that 1t be put
in the hands of the judiciary COM
mittee and there 1t remains to this
day.
Brown owns a butcher shop at
225 Riverside avenue.
1t has been claimed acids are
used in most of the meat markets
in this city and two months ago
after a round of them by Meat
Inspector Adams, the board of
health decided that it was to the
best interests of the public and in
keeping good health, that the use
of preservatives should be stopped.
Formadehyde is In common use,
1t is stated, as is also salycilic
acid, sulphide Of sodium and borax.
There Is a United States law
against the use of preservatives in
meats and compared with this law
the one introduced in the council
Is not stringent.
Councilmen Estep, Baldwin and
Laumer comprise the Judiciary
committee. 1t seems to be up to
them to resurrect that ordinance,
SO successfully buried, apparently
by Butcher Brown.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. IS
Mile. Smirnoff, a refined young
woman while walking on the street
with companion, remarked as a
squadron of crack chevalier guards
rode by:
"They look as gay as if they
took Port Arthur"
The commander ordered the girl
taken to the colonel at the bar
racks, then paraded on the ground,
and thrashed in the presence of
officers, tearing her clothing and
raising welts on her back so swol-
len the doctors can't tell the ex-
tent of internal injury.
Papers printing accounts Of the
outrage were confiscated. Popular
indignation is at white heat

BIG K|CKERS
ARE DUE

Not yet has the board of equal
ization got down to .disposing Of
the matter Of kicks against assess
ments or petitions for reductions
of assessments. The meat of the
situation is not yet apparent to
the public. When the board closes
it's doors and resolves itself into
a working body instead Of merely
listening body, results will be
defined.
Today a few kicks Of small calf
Der have been heard. The stenog-
rapher is catching up with his
transcription of the testimony and
1t is expected that both kickers
and petitioners early in the ses,
sion will soon know their luck. Up
to date the kicks have been for
comparatively small amounts, but
the big ones" have not been
heard.

DON'T Want
METERS

Regarding the appointing OF a
committee by the city council last
night for the purpose of ascertain
ing the cost to the city represented
by reducing the meter rate from
Is cents per 1000 gallons to 6
cents and possibly cents per 1000
gallons, City Engineer Mcintyre
says:
whats the use Of discussing
meters at all. This city don't
want meters. 1t will cost more
to install meters than to fix up
the water system so people can
waste all the water they want.
The only reason for the meters
that l can see is to give some
meter companies a big contract.
The cost of the water to the city
is very low. There are three men
employed to run the plant, and
then there's the interest on the
money expended and the wear and
tear on the machinery.
when the new plant is COM
pleted, which may be in about
three weeks, we will have water
enough for a population Of 100000
people.

DARESDEATH
FOR TR|FLE

A passing policeman discovered
a watch in the river just above the
Post street bridge and just below
the Great Northern railway via
duct this noon. Soon the expert
diving youngsters at the Howard
street bridge heard of the find and
they saw larger game than nickels.
One venturesome urchin had him
self let down into the swift cur
rent with a rope about his waist
and at last accounts was still
struggling with the water $50 feet
feet above the falls to get at the
watch, which was in full sight Of
a crowd of curious looking over
the bridge ratings.
