MAYOR VETOES
MILK ORDINANCES
Does Not Approve of All the
Provisions of Proposed
Laws.

Inc milk inspection ana dairy oral
nances have been vetoed by the Mayor
At last nights meeting of the Board
of Supervisors His Honor returned both
ordinances without his approval Or
dinance No y, providing for the in
spection of milk, diaries and dairy
cows, was accompanied by veto COW
ering four pages of legal cap.
The Mayors objections to the ordi-
nances come under two heads: Unneees-
sary legislation, and unfairness to the
small dealer. Many of the sections of
the ordinances, the Mayor points out,
are, according to his belief, covered by
existing territorial laws, and therefore
do not afford any greater protection
than that now given.
In referring to section l of Ordi
nance No. IS, the dairy ordinance, His
Honor says: GAS it now stands, sec
ton l of this ordinance does not seem
to correctly express what I am sure is
INC IntSHt u liS StCOIUu OAuCt It's
terms, should the ordinance be enacted,
a person would be guilty of violation
of the ordinance, and become liable to
punishment, if, for instance, such per
son should permit deadly weapon to
be brought into or upon the dairy
premises. -
Certain sections of the ordinance
would, says the Mayor in his veto,
practically work the confscation of the
property of small dairymen who are
not in position to comply with the
terms of the proposed law.
Both ordinances are carefully gone
over, section by section. and in both
cases Mayor Fern expresses his SYM
pathy with any movement to protect
the people of the city from impure
milk, but he demands fairness toward
the dairymen.
Action on the vetoes was delayed
until later date in accordance with
the requirements of law

inspector of Kaluanui Beach road work.
That much was settled in an opinion

upon the minutes of the meeting. The
legality of Clark s appointment has
been a moot question for some time.
but, according to the county attorneys
opinion. the inspector was appointed
considerably more thoroughly than
there was any necessity.
Tn brief. Nilverton expressed the be-
lief that Ceres appointment of the
inspector was all that was necessary.
and that subsequent action by the
board had absolutely no effect upon the
case.
Object to Autos.
Bethel street merchants. and hack
drivers on the Bethel street stand. do
not want an automobile stand on the
street. A petition, signed by a num-
Der of those interested, was submitted
TO the supervisors, and was duly re
ferred to the road committee. Chair
man Quinn of the committee expressed
the belief that Bethel street is hardly
the place for an automobile stand and
has words were not very promising for
those who are anxious to station line
of benzine buggies along the side of
the narrow highway
Mayor Fern announced that he had
appointed Bill Luu and w. A. Kalai
