Householders the city over are much
perturbed over the epidemic of petty
thieving that goes on whenever and
wherever milk bottles are left in the open.
Milk dealers are at a loss to account for
many thefts of this kind, although they
are ready to cooperate with their pa
irons in any move that will put stop
to the marauding. There is talk of or
ganizing vigilance committees and tactical
thieves will be severely dealt with if
they are detected in any of their noctur-
nal operations. In Cottage street house
wives are conducting systematic in
vestigation for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether the thieves are needy per-
sons and if it develops that they are in
digent free milk fund will be sub
scribed. The epidemic is not confined to
any one locality and in no instance have |
the raiders had the decency to return the
empty milk bottles.
