CHARTER COMMITTEE
Meets and Discusses Meriden Charte
Last Session Till Fall.

All the msmbers of the Meriden
charter revision committee were pres
ent at the meeting held Tuesday af-
ternoon with DIR. J. &. Eggleston pre-
siding, says the Meriden Record. Most
Of the committees time was devoted
20 a discussion of the single tax and
the extension of the boundaries of the
wards The committee adjourned 10
meet June 5. BY unanimous consent
that meeting will probably he the last
until next fall as it will be difficult to
get the. entire committee together every
week through the summer months. AS
the committee has ample time before
the converting of the next general as
sembly, the layof seems a wise move.
The single tax arrangement talked
over is similar to the one in vogue
throughout Massa chusetts. 1t is one
tax for the entire community. 1t is
the impression of the committee that
under the new charter Meriden Will
have a board of permanent assessors
who will devote all their time to the
work. The justice for the townsmen
will come in the fair valuation set on
their property, well as on all other
property in either city or town.
Through the extension of the bounda
ries of the voting wards the districts
will be eliminated. When the new
charter is drafted Meriden will have a
number OF voting precincts in each
ward something long desired.

DISEASED DAIRY pRopucrs.

1t is not to be wondered at that
Vermont is stirred up over a recent oc-
'currence there with. reference to the
sale of diseased dairy products.
DIR. c. w. Peck. chairman of the
board of health for Brandon, went to
a Brandon market where butter from
the dairy of Tom G.. Seager of that
town was sold. procured a sample of
it and sent it to the state laboratory
at Burlington for examination. DR..
b. Fl. stone, director of the laboratory,
reported that a guinea pig inoculated
with this butter, was killed in one
months tinee and found to be tuber-
cular.
DR.. Peck took this step after the
Seager cattle. condemned under the
tuberculin test. mad been killed at the
rendering plant and quite "a proportion
of the meat sold by the state authori-
ties to unsuspeeting people as pure,
wholesome beef.
The Randolph News says: 1.-The
layman, admittedly deficient in theory,
has. we claim, a right to his prejudice
against eating such food products as
the state of Vermont is palming upon
him. Perhaps instinct. which revolts
at the idea of whiting off the tuber-
culous parts of a diseased beef and
eating the rest, is a better guide than
veterinarian logic Eminent patholo-
gists might demonstrate beyond seiea-
tific question that snake meat was not
injurious, and might even eat of it
themselves, but this wouldn't make
the custom general or remove the 'un
reasonable prejudice that nature itself
implants- doubtless for good reason"
This is pretty poor business for the
authorities of any state to be in.
