HEALTH BOARD
TALKS OF EGGS

The subject of storage eggs came
before the Board Of Health yesterday
afternoon when Secretary Malcom
stated he had received a letter from
Swift and Company bearing on the
subject. This concern received eggs
that had been in storage eight months
in another city. The board called the
attention of the company to the local
law preventing the sale Of eggs after
six months storage without special
permission. The company was notified
that the eggs must be sold at once.
DIR. c. c. Beck, president Of the
Board read a communication FROM
Wilckens, Staats and Company, Inc.
in refernce to some turkeys that had
been placed in their refrigerators
without being drawn. This question
was settled by the passing of the
following resolution;
Fresh killed poultry can be kept
by the dealer before being drawn foi
a period of seven days, but must b'
stamped upon the day of their being
received" In the matter of cold stor
age poultry, it was stated that thel
must positively be drawn, and an,
dealer found with such poultry, whicl
has not been prepared according to th'
act recently passed by the last legis
latiye body will now be prosecuted.

POWER FOR CITY PLANT.

There ia some criticism Of City En-
gineer Anders' advocacy of steam
power for the new filtration plant. j
is a question in the minds of many
people whether his position is alonG
the lines OF economy for Fargo.
One of the great disadvantages un'
der which Fargo has labored in its ef'
forts to secure manufacturing enter
prises has been because Of the prices
of fuel. II private corporations look
askanee at the cost of steam power
here--why should not the municipal
ity?
Even in other cities more fortunately
situated than Fargo in this respect,
steam power plants are being aban-
doned and producer gas or electric
power substituted.
The producer gas proposition appeals
more directly to Fargoans. There are
unlimited quantities of Ignite coal in
North Dakota. Federal tests shows
it's high value in producer gas. The
experiments at the sub-station at He
bron have been successful.
In view of these things Fargo OFF,
Gals should hesitate before equipping
it's new filtration plant with an old
fashioned, out-of-date power SYSTEM
N pr0ducar gas mr. electric mower is
better.
