GETTING READY TO
REPLY TO CURTIS
Charity Department Has State Dairy
Commissioner Come Out to Inspect
Dairy Barn: Report Soon.

The water board and the charity
board have been kept busy since the
last meeting of the common council
following out the instructions aimed
in their direction at that time by AL
derman O. f. Curtis. The water COM
mission has already prepared its re
port on the ice house matter. a sum-
mary of which was printed last night.
Now the charity department is about
to compile its report on the much
mootod question of the Town farm
dairy barn. At the council meeting
the Third ward alderman asked that
the department consult with the dairy
commissioner concerning the con-
struction of the barn, intimating that
if conflicts with the law in that other
animals are kept in the same part With
milk COWS Mention was also made
of the proximity Of the slaughter
house to the dairy barn.
The dairy commissioner visited the
Town farm dairy barn yesterday and
after thoroughly investigating the
premises agreed to send out a special
written report in time for the council
meeting. 1t is understood, however
that he found the dairy barn to be
an excellent example Of what such a
barn should be. It is also said that
he explained that it is not q violation
Of the law to keep horses in the same
barn with milk COWS the law refer
ring ia certain unclean animals.
Measurements made Yesterday are
said TO show that the slaughter house
is nearer 500 feet from the dairy barn
than 100 feet,

National Locomotives.
(RailWay Age)

Granted that now, and perhaps next
year. there will be a need for loco
motives that can be sent indiScrimi-
nately throughout the country to re-
leve congestion wherever it may
occur. the fact remains that Whero
specific roads need now locomotives in
any large numbers, far better results
will be obtained by providing those
roads with locomotives of a design
that is best adapted to their particular
needs These locomotives, if built Of
existing designs, would serve their
purpose better than any lOcomO tiVC of
q compromise design that it would
be practical to build for a certain set
of operating conditions. The number
Of any general service locomotives Or
dered by the government, therefore
should be held to a minmum-to a
number which will be considered ne
cessary to relieve congestion caused
by a lack of power. The danger is in
ordering more than is absolutely r&-
cessary and thus holding up orders for
locomotives of special design for those
roads that need them most. As con-
ditions again become normal and the
railroads have an opportunity to ad-
just themselves to the new conditions,
there will be no great need TOR THESE
general service locomotives, and II
there are too many Of them 1t Will be
difficult to find places in winch TO use

In the development of the designs
for government Iocom olives, it must

tive users design. There are Dues
