inspector, accompanied by a special
sanitary officer detailed from the Po-
lice Department, began Thursday
morning his regular monthly inspec-
ton of the daries supplying Little
Rock with milk.

Many persons Saturday were de-
sirous of knowing just what would
happen to the two-cent rate, If the
court should grant a temporary re-
straining order during the tendency
Of the suits. An answer to the ques-
ton is not to be had in Little Rock.
John M. Moore of the law firm of
Moore, Smith & Moore, counsel for the
railroads, could not give a definite
answer to the question.
whether the two-cent rate would
be abolished upon the granting of a
temporary restraining order, is a ques-
ton of policy that would have to be
determined by the roads themselves.
am not in position even to venture an
opinion as to what the roads would
do" said Mr.. Moore.
A railroad attorney, not directly in
terested in the suits, said he thought
the action of the roads will be govern
ed largely by the terms of the tempo
rary restraining orders that may be
granted
