farmers, both big and little. are striv.

ducers. In this connection much in

by experienced men as to the prob

plication was rejected by the patent
office on the grounds that the inven-

The complainant therefore claims

Ballard asks that a temporary injunc-

MUST CLEAN UP
SURFACE CLOSETS

At the meeting last night of the
mayor and board of aldermen, Mayor
Donald proposed an ordinance provid-
| ing for the cleaning of closets outside
of the city's sewerage system.
The discussion which developed
showed the imperative need of an or
dinance of this kind for sanitary bet
terment of the city outside the sewer
age district and for the health of the
people of the city living in that terri
tory.
The present system it appears, is
not satisfactorily effective for various
reasons:
One of these reasons is the indiffer-
ence and negligence of those who re-
fuse to keep closets clean and thereby
affect and offset the good work of
cleanliness.
Another reason is, that under the
present system there is no way for
the city to enforce the ordinary sani-
tary rules of cleanliness.
To meet the first difficulty the pro
posed ordinance provides for compul-
sorry cleaning up by the city doing the
work and charging each house a small
sum to be paid every three months
for the work done. this fund to go
into the sanitary fund to pay the eX-
penses OF conducting the sanitary de
partment.
In addition to this rules for the fire.
quency and manner of cleaning and
disinfecting are provided and to this
is to be a provision making it a mis-
demeanor not to comply with the or
dinance and a fine not exceeding $40
to be imposed upon conviction.
The discussion on the need of such
an ordinance and as to the provisions
it should contain, brought out an APP
parent unanimous opinion in favor of
the adoption of the proposed ordi.
nance. While the talk was in progress
it was suggested that he clause in the
ordinance which read that it shall be
unlawful for any private person to do
said work. might raise a question of
legality and to this was added the sug-
gestion that the ordinance be referred
to the city attorney.
City Attorney Sullivan being pres
ent he was called on for an opinion
Mr.. Sullivan said that a similar issue
had been raised before the board some
three years ago on the passage of a
sanitary ordinance of like character of
the one under consideration, and that
before giving an opinion on the ques-
ton he would prefer to examine it's
provisions.
The board then decided to refer the
ordinance to the city attorney to re-
port on the subject at the board meet
ing next Monday night.
After the adjournment, Mr. Sullivan
said the sanitary ordinance which had
been adopted by the board some years
ago had been repealed according to
his best recollection.
