AN EARLY DATE. 81
EXECUTE ORDINANCE OF OF
Generally the Same Plans Announoed
a Short Time Ago for Meat lnspec-
ton VIII Be Followed in the Regu-
latons to Be Made.

Plans are Being Made by DR.. Robert
Pillow Jr., to enforce the milk and
butter inspection ordinance Of the city
of Columbia. An ordinance to regi-
late the sale of dairy products in the
city was passed in 1907, during the adj
ministration of the late Mayor Blddle,
but no inspector has been appointed
and the ordinance has remained in
sort of state of innocuous dissuetude,
but If is the plan of DIR. Pillow to have
it enforced.
Recently DR.. Pillow inaugurated a
system of meat inspection in the city
that is giving general satisfaction and
is assuring the people of Columbia a
more sanitary fne of meats.
The first thing that will be done
will be to appoint some one to enforce
the provisions of the city ordinance
who will probably be known as the
dairy products inspector. 1t has Deen
found that no ordinance is self eXecut
ing and without the machinery for an
inspection the best of laws OF TINS
character often prove little more thar
dead letters. From the ordinance or
the subject DR.. Pillow will promulgatt
regulations which will be furnished t6
all of the vendors of dairy product!
in the city.
