DR.. I. L. James,, the city mix and
meat inspector, and DR.. William Scan
Ian, the city health. officer, have issued
orders that all milk bottles must be
washed as soon as the contents are re-
moved, and that all merchants who
redeem such bottles must refuse those
that have not been washed.
It is understood that those agitating
the proposition of installing curb
lights on Eighth street south from
First avenue to Thirteenth street are
still working on the proposition and
that a large number of tie property
owners along Eighth street have sign
ed up. The plans are to install four
poles to the block on each side of the
street, each pole to carry Une large
light. L
City Auditor Watkins has made an
estimate of the cost of the new white
way, which includes the lights Install
ed on Broadway from Fourth to Fifth
avenues north, on Eighth street south
from Front street to First avenue and
on Front street from Eighth to Tenth
streets. There are about 1900 feet of
lights in these districts and Auditor
Watkins finds that the cost was a lit
tie better than $500. ,..,.
City Attorney Parsons of Lidger-
wood, accompanied by the city audi
tor of that place, was in the city
comforting with City Auditor Watkins
relative to Fargo's sewer system.
Lidgerwood is to install a sewer sys-
tenn and the visitors were here for the
purpose of getting pointers. They are
much pleased with the Fargo system
and think that 1t would be about such
a one as would be wanted in Lidger-
wood, Of course on a smaller scale.
Postmaster H. C. Plumley returned
home this noon from st. Paul, where
he has been attending the Tri-State
Postmasters' convention, over which
he presided as president Of the asso-
citation. Mr.. Plumley's able address to
the postmasters last Monday on vel
looming the postmasters from Mime
sofa and the aDakotas to the v
ton was published in The Forum on
Monday of this week and was com
sidered one of the best that has ever
been heard before the association.
