WILL PERMIT COWS TO Be
KEPT ON STATEN ISLAND
DR.. Copeland VIII Issue Permits
Through Efforts of Mrs. WILCOX;
VIII Aid Rural Districts
By Special Correspondent.

TOTTENVILLE, June 7:-Dr.
Royal s. Copeland of the Department
of Health, having his attention called
by Mrs. William G. Wilcox through
Borough President VanName to the
hardship of the people in the sparsely
settled sections of Staten Island be-
cause of an insufficient supply Of
milk, has taken action to remedy the
complaint.
1t does not pay the large milk COM
panies to deliver long distances in
the sparsely settled communities of
the interior, and children have been
deprived Of milk.
In years gone by the many people
living in those districts kept their
own cows, and those having q surplus
sold it to their neighbors and in this
way there was a plentiful supply of
fresh milk at a reasonable price.
The stringent and unreasonable
rules of the Department of Health
under the former city administration
forced the citizens keeping one or
two cows to sell them. A large num-
Der of people have been unable to
get milk as a result Of the changed
conditions, and the greatest sufferers
have been the young children and
infants.
| DR.. Copeland will encourage the
people to keep their own cows, and
because Of the emergency now exist
ing in the interior of the island, and
| to give relief as soon as possible to
the deplorable conditions, and in or
der to prevent the usual delays of
red tape and the necessary time to
amend the harsh conditions now in
force. he will receive applications to
keep COWS from residents of sparsely
settled parts of the borough of Rich
mond and grant permits under modi-
| fed and reasonable restrictions.
| Any person or persons desiring to
keep cows should make application
to the local office of the Department
of Health, Stapleton. and represen-
tative from that office will make an
Immediate investigation and report it
The granting of the permits will be
| facilitated and conditioned upon the
most reasonable restrictions consist
ent with the protection of the public
health.
Mrs Wilcox is very much interest
ed and hopes to see hundreds of COWS
/ and sheep pasturing in the greer
fields and over the hills of the island

Supply Shortly
By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, June THE ice
situation in Tottenville at the present
time Is about as critical as the coal
shortage was during the past winter
months. Complaints have been made
to President Stuart L. Ritz. of the
Tottenville Branch Of the Staten Is
land Civic League, by number of
people that during the warm weather
of the past week or more they were
unable to get any ice despite the fact
of the severe cold of the past winter
when it was supposed that it would
be plentiful now. Mr.. Ritz was in
Inference with Floyd w. Decker, of
the Dorsey Decker Ice Company, a
few nights ago in regard to the mat
ter and of the equal distribution of
Ice among the family trade. 1t was
pointed out to Mr. Decker that many
people were unable to get ice because
they have not been regular custom
ers. Mr. Decker assured Mr.. Ritz
that it would be remedied as soon as
the ice plant was put into operation.
A permit to manufacture ice has
been granted by Ice Commissioner
Odell and as soon as the plant can be
put into shape it will be started up.
The coal has been ordered and the
ammonia to make the Ice purchased. d.
The machinery is being overhauled
and the stack that was blown down
Wednesday will be raised upon the
nlant. It is expected then that
enough ice can be made to supply
this entire end of the island. The
plant has been closed down since last
fall and was purchased by its present
owners about two months ago at
a foreclosure sale.
