and regulations affecting Newark

Ihis was decided at meeting of the

py tne New York authorities that

Planned that the New York ruling

II is planned by the local Board
OF Health to have all local horses in
spected thoroughly for CHAMBERS.
rms will be done so that no time will
pc lost when they cross the New
hork FERRIES, where the inspectors
VIII have the horses tagged as being
nit to enter.
Opthalmic malein is furnished by
the United States Department of
Animal Industry for making the test
OF the horses and those found free
from glanders are supplied with a
red strap and a lead seal which is
placed around the neck. All horses
having such a strap will be passed
across the ferries into New York
without any question. He suggested
that the Newark Board of Health
adopt a similar device. Thirty cents
is charged for each strap.
The matter was discussed at some
length. Commissioner Foyle thought
lnat 1t was a one-sided affair and
tnat New Jersey should also quaran-
tine New York horses. DR.. Werner
Runge said that New York was in
specting all horses that left there to
come to this State so that the danger
or injected horses coming here was
slight. The matter was left in the
hands of Health officer Chandler with
power to devise some plan for ex-
amining the horses. This will apply
only to horses which are used be-
tween this city and New York 1t is
estimated that between $50 and 500
horses in this city are so used.
The amendments to the milk ordi-
nance were passed ON final reading
and will go into effect at once. Com
missioner Foyle said he understood
that large milk dealer claimed that
the amended ordinance would force
many dealers out of business and the
price of milk would jump so per cent.
He stated that he heard that the milk
dealers were going to fight the ordi-
nance.
The ordinance prohibiting the sale
Of dipped milk" does not become
effective until September l of next
year.
Inspector S. G. Sharwell stated that
the milk dealers thought that the
Board of Health was only bluffing
and did not intend to enforce the new
ordinance and they were threatening
to compel the board to enforce the
new rules or drop them.
