Badly Damaged Today.

SOUTH ORANGE MILKMAN
WILL CHANGE HIS BARN,


When Joseph Elsman, a milknan Oh
Irvingto1 avenue. South Orange, was
placed on trial for selling milk without
a license before Police Justice J. Mar
tin Roll, oftstbat village, yesterday att
ernoofl. ii developed that it was not the
milk. milk cans, milk wagon, milking
stools or iniikman that were the rea-
sons for all the trouble. The whole
thing was this: Elsman's COW barns did
not have sufficient windows and they
needed an eight-inch beam.
The Board of Health had refused to
grant EIsman a license because he had
not compiled with the ordinance. and
the dealer pleaded guilty. Sentence
was suspended. He will change his
barn as directed. He had fought the
case through a lawyer and succeeded
in having the quality of his wilk not
enter into the case, although the Board
of Healtir Inspector had previously al
legged that the milk was not up TO the
standard.
