AS a result of a meeting of the citizens
Of the community. held Monday evening.
at the First United Brethren church at
the corner Of Nineteenth and Lathrop
streets there will be a large delegation
from that section Of the city present at
the Tuesday evening session Of the city
council In an attempt to escure some
remedy for the typhoid epidemic In that
neighborhood during the last month.
The meeting was called to hear the report
of committee appointed at a similar meet
ing Some weeks ago TO investigate con-
ditions in the diaries of the city but both
Health Commissioner Connell and Dairy In
spector Young who have long been at
swords points over the regulation Of the
diaries, were present and the conflict be-
tween these men occupied the greater part
OF the time Of the meeting.
| DIR. Young, who spoke before DIR. Con-
neil. said 1t had been impossible in the few
month"; he had been in office TO secure a
complete enforcement of the rules which
the city ordinances prescribe for the diaries
but felt that he had secured observance of
the parts OF these rules which were most
Essential and promised that in a very short
time he would have all the diaries of the
city living up to~the prescribed ordinances
|
enforce these rules in their entirety, but ]
am insisting for the present upon healthy
COWS and absolute cleanliness in handling
| the milk"
DR. Connell followed Young upon the
floor and minced no words in speaking OF
the dairy inspector. Said he: Il have
never tried TO keep DR.. Young from en-
forcing any law. The trouble has arisen
because he simply hasn't enforced them
and l haven't authority to make him do it,
DR.. Young was on his feet instantly for a
reply, but DR.. IL. w. Allwine, chairman OF
the meeting, refused him the floor, assert.
ing that the meeting was straying far from
the object for which it was called.
Lawrie Makes Report.
The report of Harry Lawrie started the
discussion. Mr.. LawTie headed a commit.
tee composed of DR.. r. e. Marvel, Rev
M o. Mclaughlin and DIR. H. w. Allwine
and himself, which Investigated the diaries
of the west end of the city and of East
Omaha, ana he scored the dairymen and
health officials most bitterly In the course
| OF 1t. He said that scarcely a dairy haC
been found in which the city ordinances
were observed, and in passing took occa-
sion to commend the ordinances as idea
for their purpose.
Mr.. Lawrie said the diaries of East
Omaha had been found in the worst con
didon, due. as he thought. in part, to tn,
unfavorable physical condition of that par
OF the city. I'VE want the council to TAX,
this matter up" he said in closing the re-
port, land tell DR.. Council and DIR. Youns
to do their duty"
The resolution which. finally passed thu
meeting, and which provided for the ap

made by Mr.. Lawrle and was passed onl,
after considerable opposition from Judge
! Macomber, who would have had a commit
tee OF SEVEN to include both DR. Connel
and DR.. Young, appointed. All those pres
ent were asked TO join the committee IL
