CATTLE QUARANTINE TO
BE DISCUSSED TODAY
Or. Ferneyhoueh, State Veterinarian,
Coming Here to Confer With
Dealers.

DR.. Ferneyhough, the State veter
marian, will arrive here from Rich
riond this morning to meet with re
representatives. of the Chamber OF
Commerce and local meat dealers for
TIE purpose of discussing the cattle
quarantine question. The Chamber
OF Commerce has asked that the
quarantine on cattle in certain sec
lions of Warwick county and in
ether nearby counties be raised and
it is for discussion of this matter
that DR.. Ferneyhough is coming TO this
city.
The cattle in the counties where
the quarantine exists are infected
with ticks and it is unlawful for thesS
cattle to be driven through any sec
ton which is not quarantined. DR.
Ferneyhough has stated that if the
local dealers will equip slaughter
houses and have a closed wagon to
transport the cattle from the infected
distict overland to the slaughter
houses or from the steamers bringing
the cattle to the slaughter houses the
quarantine will be lifted so far as
Newport News is concerned.
Owing to the fact that the nearby
counties are the only places from
which the local merchants can Sc
cure cattle for home killing, the
quarantine question is a very import
ant one to local dealers and consum
ers as the Western meat continues
very high.

sets?
What is the benefit OF asking a
blessing on our food when we eaf?
Is it. or not. the duty of Christian

to give thanks to God so that those
sitting with him can observe the
act?
Verse 20.-When God feeds a man,

what is the effect upon the man?
Verse Elf We heard both stories
for the first time OF feeding five
thousand men besides women and
children on five loaves and two fishes.
and OF getting ten thousand feet of
lumber from a little acorn. which
would appear the more wonderful
event and why?
Chap. xv:29-31.-Has Jesus today
lost any OF his compassion for the
sick and suffering and If not. how

Professional and Business
Mems Licenses Due.
TUESDAY THE LAST DAY
Refusal Of Power, Light and Water
Companies to Comply With Ordi'
nance viii Cut Down City's REEVE
nues, Temporarily at Least.

Only four days remain in which the
business and professional men OF the
city can pay their license taxes with
out being forced TO pay the five per
cent. pelalty. The license tax ordi-
nance became effective on May l, but
thirty days is given for all persons
TO pay their taxes to the commission
er of the revenue.
Thus Gar comparatively few OF the
professional men OF the city have paid
their tax for the present fiscal year
and Commissioner Crump is anticipat-
ing a rush today, tomorrow, Monday
and Tuesday. Some of the business
people also have failed to pay their
taxes, but it is expected that few OF
them will incur the five per cent.
penalty.
Besides receiving the license taxes
before May 81, the commissioner OF
the revenue also must receive the
list of personal property taxes. These
lists have been sent TO the tax payers
TO be filed out, but many of them
lave not yet been returned. The
commissioner must make his returns
TO the State auditor in July and it is
necessary for him TO receive the lists
as we'll as the license taxes by June l.
In cases where the tax payers fail
to send in the returns on their per-
sonal property, the commissioner may
fill out such lists for such tax payers
and turn the bills over TO the city
treasurer for collection. The same
will be done in case of persons or
firms failing to pay the license tax.
The ordinance also gives the commits
sioner the power to have any per
sons failing TO pay their license taxes
arrested and prosecuted under the
law.
Owing to the fact that the New
port News Light K Water Company,
The Citizens Railway Light < Power
Company and the Newport News
Gas Company have refused to pay the
license tax this year, there will be
little or no increase in the total
amount of license taxes received this
year unless the companies are COM
PEELED by the courts TO comply with
the ordinance
