latter crowded to it's capacity, COM
bined to make the meeting Of the
council and dairymen Of the city
Thursday night, called for discussion
of the new milk inspection ordinance.
one that proved Of benefit to all con-
cerned AS a result a suggestion Of
fered by George Iampman, to the ef-
feet that an inspector be engaged to
do nothing else and minimise the cost,
may be acted upon and prove the So
luton of the only real objection the
dairymen have to the ordinance-the
cost Of the inspection.
Lampman's Suggestion Good Ono.
Lampman's suggestion, it is be-
lieyed, will prove a good one. and Is
In direct line with the same theory
by Mayor Ingledue after the
ordinance was adopted, as probable
outcome of the solution to minimize
the cost Of inspection.
Mr.. Lampmans plan is to have the
city hire an inspector, some competent
who has a certificate and Is
in good standing with the state board,
to look after the inspection of all cat
tie, the sanitary conditions Of the
water supplies, and the test
ing Of milk for butter fat, temperature,
etc. At salary Of $1,000 or even$1,-
500 per year this work could be done
and the dairymen could pay for the
work in proportion to the number OF
cattle inspected. H. e. Fanton. q
dairyman, Lampmans father-in-laW,
estimated that it required 5000 cows to
furnish the milk, cream and butter
used in Marshalltown. AT this num-
ber by paying so cents per head,
could be paid good SAL
ary. and devote his entire time to the
work.
The question arose as to whether the
ordinance really compels the inspection
of all steers and male animals on the
place, or other "she stuff" not used for
milking. Devine and Mayor Ingledue
insist that this is exactly what Is
is just as much danger in having I'M
inspected animals around as tho those
animals Were. used for dairy purposes.
Jay said this was not the intention OF
the ordinance, but that it meant to in
clude cows giving milk only.
Different members Of the audience
were called upon for their views con-
corning the ordinance, and it was al
most midnight before adjournment was
taken. Mayor Ingledue prefaeed the
meeting by brief outline of the city's
views in establishing the important or
dinance. He asked for the co-opera-
ton Of the dairymen and milk dealers,
and said that it would be difficult for
him to enforce the ordinance without
their help.
Greene's SensibIe Argument.
Following the reading of the ordin-
ance in full by City Clerk Derby. Mer-
rift Greene spoke, setting forth some
very sensible arguments in favor Of an
ordinance to protect the public health.
He thought all interested In furnishing
milk and its products wanted to obey
the law. He thought possibly some
of advantage might be
made to the ordinance, and suggested
that no one veterinary be given a
in making the tests but
rather permit any good veterinarian
to inspect the cows or herds. He was
heartily in accord with the fundament-
al principles of the ordinance. He did
MT see how exception could be taken
to it as a whole, but perhaps as to de-
tails. Mr.. Greene later gave some
facts pertaining to tuberculosis from
milk supplies, and touched upon dis
eased cattle and meat inspection,
which he said must sooner or later
follow.
Russie Expresses Views.
Fred Russie. a dairyman, gave ex-
preston to his views in a somewhat
lengthy address. He did not think
any milk dealer wanted to sell, or
would sell milk from diseased COW
if he knew it. He thought, however.
that the public, who were going to
