Friends Of Miss Vera Morrison

Friends Of Miss Vera Morrison
were surprised to hear Of the mar
rage of Miss Morrison and Fred
l. Brown. which was solemnized in
Rock Island yesterday. The young
couple left the city without desig-
mating their destination. It was
later learned that they secured a
license and were married at the

NEW ORDINANCE
| IS IMPOSSIBLE;
| TO REPEAL IT
Railing On Nflk Standard Not Prae.
dcal and Another Probably
WIZ be Made Monday.

Moline's new milk ordinance will
probably be repealed next Monday
evening. The ordinance requires
the examination of all COWS whose
milk is offered for sale in Moline.
But another ordinance, safeguard
ing the public against impure milk,
may be adopted in the near future.
Members of the city. health and
legal departments are now study
ing state laws to determine what
kind of regulation can be adopted
and enforced here.
Mayor. Skinner stated the ordin-
ance adopted few weeks ago will
be repealed, because it is extreme
ly diMcult, II not impossible, to en-
force. The ordinance in question
reads as follows:
mo person, persons. firm or cor
poration shall offer for sale any
milk taken from any COW which
has not been examined by veter-
mary surgeon at least twice each
year, and tuberculin test made by
q veterinary surgeon once each
year, and the report of such veter-
mary examination delivered to the
health inspector in the city hall
building in the city of Moline"
Mayor Skinner stated that this
ordinance practically means that
the city must examine the cows.
There appears to be considerable
doubt as to Moline's authority to
60 out on farms outside the city
and enforce examination or to COM
pei cows to be brought to the city
