BY KENNEDY

nance Safeguard, Not Discri-
mination Against Farmers,

Or. ] P KENNEDY city health Of
neer. had something TO say Thursday
concerning complaints against Allan

Georgia Chamber Of Commerce.
lie declared the ordinance, which
prohibits the shipment or meat into

tect the public health only. and was
not intended to discriminate against

Before the slaughter house ordi-
nance and meat regulations were
adopted" said DIT Kennedy, "pnscru-
pulous farmers shipped diseased meat
into Atlanta and sold IT to unsus-
pecting persons. our inspectors re-
ported numerous cases where farmers
butchered sickly hogs and cattle and
disposed Of the meat here.
One fragrant Case Cited
We have the record OF one case
where farmer sold the meat Of a
hog that had been afflicted with chol-
era
THE ordinance does not affect hon
est farmers. II is the only method by
which the public can be safeguarded
against such practices as ! nave men
toned"
The complaint Of discrimination
was originally made by farmers in
districts near Atlanta, It was taken
up by T. H. Moody OF Cuthbert, Ga,
president Of the Randolph County
Chamber Of Commerce, who urged the
State Chamber to make an investiga-
ton. President Haden took the mat
ter before Dr. Kennedy.
Inspection Rule Rigid.
The ordinance governing the sale Of
meat in this city is similar to the
regulations Of the United States pub
lie health and marine service. IN that

requires the board Of health of any
city to cause all meat to be inspected
before 1t Is placed on sale.

sealed cars The ordinance further
requires that the seal must be broken

producers IN this or other counties of
Georgia from shipping their live stock

at guessing who her friends were by
the feel of their hands.
Little Miss Frick, according to her
instructors, has improved wonder

has become as clear and almost as
normal as any deaf persons. And she
has acquired remarkable quickness in

SUNKEV PATH WEST
OF FRONT STREET
Expert Manning Explains Why Pro-
posed Treatment Is Neces-
sary For Park

Warren II. Manning the city's land
Iscape architect, believes that there is
no river front in the world superior to
the beautiful frontage of Harrisburg.
He is deeply interested in this develop
ment along practical and esthetic lines
and owing to the comparatively mar
row stretches at certain points has
been compelled to provide different
treatment in different sections.
For instance, north of "Hardscrab-
BILE" 1t has been found advisable to
construct a sunken path near the west
ern curbline so as to create what will
be equivalent to q double terrace.
Dropping from the level of the street
three or four feet with an easy grade
the first slope will be covered with
matrimony vine and the edge of the
vurbing with barberry hedge. The
depressed walk will have an average
width of nine feet and the second
terrace will be carried down by a
proper grade to the level of the con-
crete wall and steps. Some filling will
be necessary under this plan, but not
nearly so much as would have been
lrequired had the original scheme of a
park strip on the level of the street
been carried out.
'EIIT'' Prom Station Site
With the enormous quantities of
material that will be available from
the South Second street excavations. ii
should be an easy matter for the De-
partment of Parks to complete the
rough grading during the winter. 1t
will then be possible, it is hoped, to do
the planting early in the Spring and
put the whole front of the city in fine
shape for the river carnival and his
toric pageant next summer.
1t has been suggested by practical
citizen that the rejected granite blocks
from the Federal building, some of
which have been thrown over the
river bank north of Maclay street,
would make fine material for rip
rapping the abrupt projection of the
bank at the pumping station. 1t would
also save serious damage by the high
water and ice during the winter at this
point.
The Various Suggestions
"If we should treat the river en-
bankment," said q park official to-
day, "in the way that individual citi-
zens suggest from time to time, we
would have a different kind of treat
ment about every other square. We
must regard the opinion, the technical
knowledge and the large experience of
the distinguished landscape architect
who has made a reputation through
out the country and who has done so
admirably for Harrisburg. IT Is un-
pleasant to meet objections at every
public Improvement, but we must do
our duty as we see it without regard
to protests-honest or otherwise"

SPRINGS WILL HELP
LAKE CONSTRUCTION
Work on Pretty Improvement For
Colonial Country Club Pro-
crossing Rapidly

Favorable weather conditions dur
ing the last few weeks has enabled the
special committee in charge of the
work to make wonderful progress in
the general Improvement of the golf
links of the Colonial Country Club, on
the Linglestown road. 1t is expected
that the excavations for the lake along
the Crooked Road will be finished this
week. During this excavation several
additional springs have been discov-
cred which will provide steady flow
OF water throughout the year. This
artificial lake will be of considerable
size and at it's deepest point about six
rect. 1t will constitute one of the star
hazards OF an unusual course.
Among the improvements of the
course will be the elimination of the
marshy land along the small stream
running through the course and the
changing OF two or three of the greens.
Excavations for the new locker house
Will also be started this week and the
material from this excavation will be
used In hlling up some of the low land.
IL is expected that the golf course
will be in first-class shape for pIay
next season, especially in view of the
fact that there has been considerable
draining and extension of a general
water supply system all over the
course. 1t is also proposed to use a
force pump at the lake for not only
supplying water for the greens but
also as fire protection for the club
house.

GERMANY WILL NOT
BLOCK RELIEF WORK
Even Unneutral Ships Carrying
Food For Belgium Will
Have Right of Way
By Associated Press

New York, Dev. 3.-The committee
of mercy to-day made public the fol-
lowing cablegram from James w.
Gerard, the American Ambassador at
Berlin, which was forwarded here by
the State Department at Washington:
The German government is en-
tirely in sympathy with the work of
the American commission for Belgian
relief.
THE naval forces cannot lawfully
seize food on neutral ships bound for
neutral ports. Germany will not in
terfere with unneutral ships bound
for Holland with food from the Unit
ed States, even if food is destined for
Belgium. Subject to revocation, the
German government agrees to permit
unneutral ships to carry food for Bel
gium, via Dutch ports, and will guar
antee that the food is utilized for the
purpose intended
The German government recon-
mends, however, that as a precaution.
such unneutral ships shall be fur
nished with certificate from compe-
tent American authorities, testifyins
that such food carried by unneutral
shlps via Dutch ports is intended for
the relief of the Belgians, and fur
ther, that the unneutral ships shall
be also provided with a pass issued
by the German Embassy in Washing
ton, authenticating the certificate is
sued by the American government"
This official assurance, it was said
by the committee of mercy, set at rest
numerous rumorS to the effect that
American foodstuffs shipped into Bel
GUM, to be used in feeding the starv-
ing refugees, might be seized by the
German military authorities for the
commissary department of their
troops.
