PASSED FOOD AND
MEAT ORDINANCE
CITY BOARD ACCOMPLISHES A
WORK THAT HAS LONG BEEN
NEEDED ON SANITARY LINES.

The board of city commissioners
met last night and held an unusu-
ally important session.
Among the important measures
passed was the ordinance establish
ing the rules for slaughter houses
and abbatoirs and the regulation OF
the killing of animals for food pur-
poses in the city.
This is long felt want in the
sanitary conditions Of the town and
the board deserves the thanks OF
every citizen for their action in the
matter.
The ordinance is drawn along
lines that are in accord with the
state laws governing such matters
and it will be incumbent on all who
are engaged in the business to here
after pay strict heed to its provisions
or suffer the penalty prescribed there
in.
The board was unanimous in its
action and the mayor was with them,
in its adoption.
This is probably one of the best
provisions that has been enacted
into an ordinance in this city, It's
need was urgent, conditions had
been of the most revolving nature
il, connection with slaughter houses
in this city and whatever opposition
the ordinance encountereG WAS Of a
atre that deserved no considera-
ton. The health OF the city made it
imperative and those who feel ag.
grienved over its passage are few
and far between.
The damage claims of several par
ties against the city which arose
from the overflow of water on north
Caddo street We're settled under a
compromise, the claims r"'nG salts
fled for $50 each, which is considered
fair and equitable settlement for
all parties concerned and lets the
city out without any unnecessary
hardship.
The ordinance for the appoint
ment of an inspector of meats, milk,
food. etc, was referred to the city
attorney for further revision and
will be acted on ut the next meet
ins
The city engineer was instructed
to proceed with the work of re
pairing the storm sewers on A
street, northwest.
After the allowance of several
claims for sewers and other work
and for material furnished the city
the board adjourned.

word to say for everybody which
contributed materially towards making
the occasion one to be long remem'
bered, one that will linger in the minds
Of all present with lasting impressive
ness.
On coming to the table everybody
found at each plate roll neatly tied
with ribbon, which on opening was
found to contain a certificate from the
juniors to the seniors expressive of
the amicable relations existing be-
tween the two classes and a clean bill
of character.

BILLIARD
CHAMPIONSHIP
IS DECIDED

The handicap billiard championship
of Gary was decided last night at a
local poolroom and at the same time
that a new lightweight pugilistic
champion was being made Ingersoll
was beaten for the billiard title OF
Gary by Kidd. which was of almost
equal interest to the local sportsmen-
Each player had won five games and
lost three, with but one remaining
game to play. The previous night Pei
tier had been eliminated from triple
tie for first place by Atkins. who beat
him badly. and 1t was left for Inger-
soil and Kidd to fight 1t out for frst
place.
The game last night was witnessed
by a big crowd of fans. Both men were
apparently nervous and played far be-
low their usual standard. Ingersoll
seemed to have lost his stroke entirely
and attributed it to the fact that he
has been playing too much pool re-
