IS not APPROVED
Ordinance Relating to Ice
Cream to Go Back to Coun-
! Gil for Consideration.
MODERATION IS SUGGESTED
Idea Is Commended, but Difference of
Opinion Exists as to What
Should Be Required.

The ice cream regulation ordinan ce
adopted.by the council at its last meet
ing is to be returned at the first SEES
sion in July, without the signature OF
Mayor McCaskrin. The mayor has ap
proved all of the other measures adopt
ed at the last meeting, but the health
department has decided to reopen con.
sideration of the measure regulating
the sale of ice cream. 1t is expected
that the dealers will be heard, and that
the ordinance will be readopted with
appointments.
The ordinance requires II per cent
butter fat in vanilla fiavors, and II per
cent in fruit fiavors 1t forbids the use
of any cream taken from impure or
adUlterated milk, and prohibits the adj
d1tion of eggs, gelatine, glucose, corn
Hour. starch, any mucilaginous sub
stance, or thickening of any character,
under penalty of fine The measure
also provides that dealers shall pay
a license fee of S. for selling ice cream
IN any store or other place of business
or a wagon, and So for each wagon
from which the ice cream is sold at
retail.
Idea IN CONNIE nded.
There has been much discussion of
the ordinance, and the sentiment gen
orally seems to be in favor of some
measure to enable the health depart
ment to inspect the ice cream, and to
require a certain standard for the
product. There is some difference of
opinion. however. as to just what the
requirements should be, and whether
certain substances are really harmful
The dealers who have permanent
places of business argue that the Ii
cense provision should not apply to
them, but should affect only those who
sell ice cream from wagons on he
streets.

The Commissioners are considering the
new building regulations and will soon
adopt them. One of the provisions as
prepared by the authorities provides for
at least thirteen-inch walls for all build
ings inside the fire limits. There is no good
reason for requiring such thickness of
wall on small dwellings of two stories,
and many reasons why such an increased
thickness should not be demanded. There
is and can be no claim that thirteen
inch wall is needed for safety on two
story houses. and il not demanded for
safety, then every interest of the city re-
quires that no further restriction or hand
leaps be placed on the building of mod
erate-priced houses. Washington is lack
ing in houses of decent construction, and
with respectable surroundings, that can
be obtained for moderate rentals. Such
unnecessary demands as proposed by the
building regulations would make it still
more impossible for capital to engage in
such construction with any possibility Of
a fair return on the investment.

force and for military reforms to safe
guard against possible German agrees
sions have had the effect already OF
awakening the fears Of a large percent
age Of the British people. and 1t Is be-
lieved that under this spur a budget prop
osition looking to the increase OF the ma

German preparations will appeal strongly
enough to the electorate to carry IL

Of socialism.
A belief prevails in some quarters that
England's military necessities. important
as they are as q factor in the interna-
ttonal situation, may prove domestic
blessing in the influence they exert in
breaking down the barriers that stand In
the way OF general financial reform. The
social condition of England IS deplorable
today. The enormous dependent popula-
ton is Of itself a problem of the first
magnitude. A royal commission worked
for several years in investigation of the
condition of the poor, with the result of

clusion Of which was that the problem

dustries and to give work to the unem-
ployed. the warnings Of those who are
now seeing German battleships at sea

accumulates that a political crisis ap-
proaches. The financial propositions Of
the ministry. adopted under the spur Of
an urgent necessity for additional funds.
ssvors 30 strongly Of socialism that tho
conservative interests Of the United King
dom have been arrayed against them. The
house OF lords, 1t Is known. stands ready
to defeat the bill under certain circum-
stances. which of course will involve an
immediate appeal to the country. On the
other hand. 1t Is now stated the only
compromise which the upper chamber is
willing to accept Is a modification OF the
measure In those particulars against
which objections have been most seriously
raised. with an agreement for an immedi-
ate dissolution Of parliament and q gen.
