pense-Council Proceedings.
1t was shown at the meeting of the
council last night that the proposed
COW inspection ordinance, read twice
and amended in some particulars, is
having opposition both from the wy.
oming Creamery company and from
the dairymen furnishing milk in the
city. Mr.. Christensen from the
creamery asserted that the ordinance
would greatly cripple the institution
and Mr.. Arnold for the dairymen as
serted that the price of inspection
would have to be borne by the con
sumers of milk, and as every family in
the city used more or less milk, he
believed the proposed inspection Of
COWS for bovine tuberculosis should be
made a public charge, payable from
the city treasury.
Pool Room Minimum Age.
Opposition developed, also, to the
proposed ordinance fixing Is years as
the minimum age for persons who fre-
quent billiard and pool rooms and ell
gage in the games on billiard and pool
tables. The ordinance reducing the
minimum age of players from 81 to
Is years Ven over under the rules,
Councilman Beemer stating that Hon.
S. j. Kent wished to be heard when
the ordinance was ready for discus
sion, as he believed barriers should be
placed around minors instead of being
thrown down.
