berculosis.
The bovine type of tuberculosis is
more active than h human and can
be distinguished by morphological
characteristics.
The bureau of animal industry states
that 25 per ~centsof the herds of cattle
examined have tuberculosis.
OF the many Ediseases that occur in
cattle that are liable to give rise to dis
ease in the human trace, may be men,
toned diseases Of the udder, ictino-
nuvcosis, botromycosis, anthrax, cow
pox, castro enterltis, septic and fertile
conditions and many others, too nu-
merous to mention in the scope of this
paper.
AS a rule the above diseases would
give rise to some septic or intestinal
trouble, as the milks in these condi-
tons contain pus-forming germs.
AS to the prevention of the above
conditions Iawould recommend that a
Veterinary surgeon be employ ed whose
duty it shall be to examine all meat
and milk sold in our city; to examine
all COWS that milk is solo from, and
every one who, has milk to sell shall
have their cowsSexamined and regis
tered. A step inathis direction means
no little to the infant who gets it's daily
support frem the COW, and the sick
m aH who relies on milk for food. The
adoption of such measures may not
only lessen disease but bring US near
er to sanitary milk, which every COM
munity should have.

The question OF the speed of auto
mobiles operated in the city, on mo-
ton it was ordered by the Board that
the speed at which machines sha1 be
operated in the city shall conform to
the State law, viz not exceed 6 miles
per hour.

levy of city taxes, the Board fixed the

on the poll; and on all bonded indebt-
edness where the rate heretofore has
been above 5 is reduced to 5 cents
