chimes are needed, and notice should
be given the committee having trans
portation in charge at once.
Committees are being appointed
from the city TO greet the Mazamas
on their arrival, and TO see that every
possible courtesy is extended 1t is,
however, impressed upon our people
that it will require all obtainable
transportation and camp accommoda-
tlons for the visitors, and our own
residents are requested to defer their
own visit TO the caves to later date,
as it will require all available cars to
care for the visitors Bearing upon
this point, the committee from the
Commercial club that is in charge Of
the general arrangements has issued
the following statement; though it
does not OF course apply to those OF
our people who can supply their own
transportation and camp accommoda-
tons
"The Mazamas have accepted the
invitation of Grants Pass to visit the
caves, and it is the duty of all to see
that nothing is done to interfere with
the success of the trip and the COM
fort of the visitors, and the commit
tee requests that local people remain
at home and visit the caves at some
other and more advantageous time.
There is still a shortage in autos
to take care of the visitors, who have
already signified their intention Of
coming and have paid their money for
the trip. More will naturally sign up
at the last minute, and owners are
requested to see the auto committee
and arrange for the use Of their cars.
Gasoline is being furnished by the
auto club, so that no expense is at
tached to that particular"

ITALIANS SELL MILK
WITHOUT LICENSES
MorristOwn People Offenders
Against Health Laws.

That three Italians in Morristown
who owned COWS were selling milk
without the formality of a license
was the complaint received by the
board of health Monday evening from
Thomas N. Millen. DR.. Henry w.
Dustan, dairy inspector, reported
visiting the three parties who live
on Race and Flagler streets, and be-
ing told that they sold only to few
relatives in the same buildings in
which they resided and that only the
surplus over what the producers them
selves used in their own families was
disposed of. The cows, he said,
were healthy and clean but the
shacks in which they were stabbed
no where near came up to the health
board requirements. The board in
structed DR.. Dustan to keep a watch
full eye on the Italians and report at
a later meeting.
Dr. Dustan reported warning three
producers to clean up their COW
yards and another producer about
the condition of his COWS. Other
dairies were all right, he said.
G. NJ Lamberts complained that
there was an outside toilet in the
rear of No. South street that was
not connected with the sewer and
was a nuisance. President Burr said
that the. board of aldermen cannot
enforce the ordinance passed requir-
ing property owners to connect with
the sewer until the sewer system is
paid for and taken over by the town
from the sewer commission. Until
that is done the health board is
powerless in the matter of forcing
sewer connections to be made.
Dr. Glazebrook, the secretary, re-
ported the receipt of a letter from
Dr.. B. Raymond Hoobler, of New
York, who says that Mrs. Foley, a
typhoid fever suspect whom he ex-
amined by order of the board and
who agreed to pay half of thecost
of the examination, had not done SO.
Inspector Belbey was delegated to
see Mrs. Foley about the matter, the
board having paid it's half as agreed
upon with her.
The ordinance requiring a tubercu-
lar test of all COWS producing milk
for Morristown consumption was

tain bedrooms of her Madison avenue
home continue to be connected with

her house objected to a sewer con-
nection and that no other waste mat
ter went into he cesspool to which
the basins were connected other than
that from these receptacles. Inspec-
tor Belbey was ordered TO make an
inspection of the house and report
his findings.
The board decided to hold no regu-
lar meetings during August or Sep
tember but will hold special meet
ing any time business warrants it,

OLIVER INDICTMENT noLLIEo.
Former Town Tax Collector Will Not
Be Prosecuted.

The indictment against j. Clark
Oliver. who was indicted for en-
bezzlement and misdemeanor, has
been nollied by Judge Salmon. Olive
was tax collector of Morristown. He
was indicted in 1897. He was sub
jected to considerable criticism that
year for his work as collector and
the board of education finally brought
proceedings against him to compel
the payment of money due for school
purposes. His bondsmen came to the
rescue.
A few months later in 1897 the
board of aldermen ordered an in
yestigation of the collectors books.
The morning after this action was
taken it was found that the collector.
safe in his store had been opened
and the tax books stolen. In July
Oliver resigned and William Becker
was appointed collector the latter
collecting about $1,000 in unpaid taxes
Shortly afterward Oliver disappeared
from town.
