TAey Say-lmpOsslbls to Keep Out
 Dirt-Dance Hall Ordinance Heard--
 Citizens Protest Against Paper Nui-
 sance.
 The hearing of the committee on ordi- nances last night brought out large number of milkmen who thought that the proposed addition po the ordinance governing the distribution of milk in this city would work them great and unnecessary inconvenience. Fully thir- ty dealers were there and almost every one expressed an opinion.
 The principal features of the proposed ordinance are that dealers will be for bidden to fill bottles on the street, and that no dealer will be allowed to sell milk in open pails.
 pr. Drank W. Wright was the first to speak in favor of the measure. He spoke of the lax way in which many dealers deliver their milk at present, He reported that eases were known in which bottles were washed in public watering troughs and then milk was delivered to customers in them. He also said that many dirty bottles were used as a result of the custom of filling on the street. He thought such condi- tions were not conducive to the public health. He was followed by John F. Gibbons, the milk inspector, who re- viewed a number of cases of violations of the laws. He advocated the measure most strongly.
 This was followed by remarks from a large number of dealers. They were not opposed to any means by which the milk could be delivered in better way than the present. LAll said that they did not fill bottles on the street except whereit seemed impossible to do other- wise. In some cases it was said 1t was impossible to do otherWie because peo- pie would not return the bottles and that 1t was impossible for the dealer to carry so many extra bottles to say nothing of the cost of the bottles. As for putting ice in the milk few did that sort of thing.
 Among those who spoke against the proposed addition to the ordinance were Alderman Allen, A. w. Brock, William Clayton, J. R. Huson, L. C.. Hemingway, w. A. Woodward, and MT. Smith, all of whom are prominent deal- | CTS of the city.
 The proposed ordinance prohibiting the admission of persons under seven- teen years of age to dance halls, was | favored by Superintendent Preston of | the Organized Charities. He said that many cases of young girls under seven | ten years of age who had been started on the road to evil lives by going to | these halls had come under his atten. | ton. He said that other cities and states were coping with the question and he thought it would be a good thing if New Haven had prohibitory l ordinance.
 The ordinance does not refer tc dances held by private clubs or any af- | fairs held under church authority. Rev Mir Mpssman also spoke in favor. He said the ordinance would help parents to manage unruly children. It Is for home life, and therefore he supported 1t.
 The petition of W. E. Allen and oth- l CTS for an ordinance which would abate the nuisance caused by the presence oi great quantities of waste paper on the l street of the city was read It was complained that paper is not properly disposed o. at both the public and private dumps l The matter was thoroughly discussed by Park Commissioner Blake, Mir. Aller and others, It was agreed that the
