ments, are now being kept under close
observation by the health authorities,
who are making every effort to keep
the milk sold in this city up to the
standard.
DR.. ]. M. ]. Raunick, city health
officer, said to-day that unless several
dealers do not show an improve
ment in their samples. their licenses
will be revoked.
Last night William H. Myers. a local
dealer, was given until November 1,
to show an improvement in his supply,
or his license will be revoked by the
health department.

big dealer, whose milk, on several oc-
casions have been below the required
grade, has been given license subject

EIGHT NAMES TO

OFT Tomorrow

Two Primary Leaders to Top
Ticket; Pick Other Pair
From Remaining Six

The names of the eight nominees
for the City Council chosen at the
primaries will be printed on the nom
partisan ballot for the November cleo
ton.
The two candidates who received
more than fifty per cent. of the total
City Commissioners
w. l.. Gorgas and Harry F. Bowman
will be placed at the top of the list,
and unless other candidates voted for
by "stickers" receive more votes than
the leaders did in the primary, Messrs.
Gorgas and Bowman will be declared
elected. The remaining two candi-
dates who must make up the four to
comprise Council will be chosen from
the six remaining nominees on the
ballot.
In effect this will be the opinion
Col. F. NJ. Ott county solicitor, will
submit to the Dauphin county COM
missioners tomorrow morning in ad-
vising the board as to the printing OF
the nonpartisan ballot.
The opinion of Attorney General
Francis Skunk Brown relative to the
nonpartisan judiciary ballot applied
only to the 1915 supplement of the
1913 judiciary law and not to the
1915 supplement of the Clark act
which provides as to the method OF
election of candidates for Council on
the nonpartisan ticket. The only ap-
plication Attorney General Browns
opinion might have, according to Col
onel OFT, Is that it helps ito throw
some light on the method of comput-
ing the fifty per cent. vote"
No Court Action
The decision of the county solicitor
seems to be the prevailing view of the
members of the Dauphin county bal
although a few lawyers hold that the
candidates receiving more than fifty
per cent. should be placed in a group
by themselves on the ballot to be
voted for alone and that the remain.
