CITY CON ROL OF
 MILK SUPPLY IS ADVOCATED HERE
Health Board Seeks Pasteu- rization and Testing
 Plant Is Necessary

Sentiment is being stimulated here for the establishment in Bridgeport of a, municipal milk station for the in spection, classification, pasteurization and distribution of all milk sold to residents.
 The necessity for such a radical move has alreads~tbeen presented to the members of the board of health in urgent recommendation of Health ojcer Edward A. Mcclellan and has received their approval.
 Yesterday, Dr. A. C.. Knapp, milk and meat inspector of this city, fol lowing a. consultation with the 1ocaA health officer, addressed milk inspec- ton officials from four states. These officials had convened at the request of state dairy anad food commission er,3 Frank H. Stadtmuel1er in his of flee at Hartford, that the conditions of milk supply to and from this state
 might be thoroughly understood and certain remedial measures adopted
 Dr. Knapp spoke upon the necesT sity of grading and pasteurizing milk and dwelt at length upon the project of a municipal plant planned for Bridgeport,
 Commenting upon the necessity for such a plant today Dr. Mcclellan, the health officer, said: .'The city should control the milk supply~in the same manner that the meat supply is now controlled. by federal and city inspec- ton.
 .eThe likelihood of disease being carried in milk into a city the size of Bridgeport is even greater. than in meats and a more rigid inspection system is necessary. I have advocated this before the board of health for some time and we are naw seeking a means that will permit the erection of a municipal. plant to inspect, grade, pasteurize and even regulate the price and distribute the product.
 srWhiIe the midd1eman will be elim- mated by this project it will not affect the producer.
 I think all milk coming to this city should be centrally received and dis tributed in an assured sanitary way, after proper classification and examin- ation Milk is more likely to carry contamination than meat is and where there are doubtful specimens taken from any lot received the whole should be pasteuFized. Such pro- ceeding under the present conditions is impossible and customers have to pay the same price for varying grades and qualities of milk.
 'sThe initial cost of such a plant would, in fact, lesson the cost of milk inspection to the city in the end, even though it employed it's own distribut- ing force. It would also insure per feet distribution and a regulation of prices. The city would also be able to receive all the milk produced and under most sanitary conditions of pro- ductiop-''

HUSBAND SAYS HE'S
 A DOMESTIC BOLIVAR

Mike McGee, of 82S Railroad ave- nue, claims to be a perfect example of the domesticated Patsy Bolivar. His plea today before Judge Frederic A. Bartlett in the city court, where he was charged with assault upon his wife, did not avail and he was re- manded to the county jail for 30 days Suspension upon a probationary sem tence was granted at the instance of the wife, who needs his support.
 Court attendants were startled when the prisoner, who had been given an opportunity of defending himself from the accusations, stated:
 Look at me, Judge! am all beaten up.''
 Continuing, the prisoner alleged that both himself and his wife had been stabbed by boarder in their home, that the boarder had been arrested and discharged by the court.
 'tNow, every time I open my mouth,' 9 said McGee, tthes beats me-
 The plea made little impression up on the court and the jail sentence was imposed.

Royal Social Club
 Menace Says Merritt


 In the opinion of Liquor Prosecu- tor A. J. Merritt, the Royal Social club. 369 Water street, is a menace to the community and is the hangout of many men of questi ionable ,charac- ter and for the good of the commun- ity the club should be put out of business. He expressed that opinion in city court this morning during the trial of William Thomas, alias Baby Doll,'' steward of the club.
 Baby Doll'' was charged with vio- lating the liquor law by selling liquor without procuring a license. He was fined $50 by Judge Bartlett. At the last hearing of Thomas his attorney John c. Chamberlain, failed to appear in court. The hearing before that was also continued because Prosecu- tor Merritt did mot appear. At the trial this morning Baby DolP' failed to appear, but as both the prosecuting attorney and counsel for the defense were present the trial went on. Thom- as later paid the fine.
