50 DAVIS REPORTS
Little More Than 1000 Gal
Ions a Day Now Fur
nished to the City.

A marked shortage in the local milk
supply is reported today by City
Health Commissioner T. Henry Davis.
This is one of the results of the recent
long cold spell. Only a little more
than a thousand gallons of the tactic
fluid can be secured each day in Rich.
mond, and the health authority as
serts this is too small an amount for
good health.
Cold weather and dry feed are the
dual causes for the shortage. says DR..
Davis. But SIG COWS are now furnish
ing milk to the city, and the quality
Of their product is poor. Only lilo gal.
Ions per day are now being sold here.
In order. to preserve the present good
health through the remainder of the
winter, says DR.. Davis, several hun.
dred gallons more should be supplied.
No relief from the shortage can be
promised by either the health com.
missioner or dairy inspector Flock.
Richmond consumes large amount OF
milk per capita, says DR.. King.
With the rain and green grass OF
spring will return the normal quality
and quantity of milk.

financial interests do not want to see
a repitition Of the disclosures made
by the insurance investigation a few
years ago. Excited inquiries have been
pouring In from the financial interests
in Gotham as to the probable fate of
the Lindbergh resolution. Corporation

amtion at the capitol and from mem
bers personally.
The leading Washington brokers
said today that nothing had so agitat.
ed New York in recent years as the
threatened inquiry as to the sources
Of power of the Money Trust. That its
influence is being directed to prevent
the inquiry Is proved by the sudden
opposition to the investigation de-
veloped among New York Democrats
In congress, who are openly decrying
MIR. Lindbergh's proposal. One cause
OF the anxiety is said to be the GER
tainty that the facts disclosed will kill
the Aldrich monetary scheme. Progress

gressive Republican. They declared
today that they will force caucus of

A new garbage plant, similar to the
one now in operation at Minneapolis,
is advocated as another improvement
for the city. According to Gluys, the
plant in operation at Minneapolis, by
the heat obtained from the burning
garbage. sufficient power is obtainNd
to run the plant. This would save
several hundred tons of coal yearly
