The City Primary which was held on

withstanding the fact that there were
three interesting contests. The as-
sumption was that this would bring
out big vote, but evidently none oc
the contestants thought it worth
while to drum up the electors.
The result was as follows:

PLACE INSPECTORS
ON The BRIDGES
Annual Food Shipments from Ohio Must
Have Uncle Sans o. X.

L. S. Bureau of Animal Industry
agents are investigating reports that
people of Ohio are violating the inter-
state commerce law by bringing animals
and animal food into tbs city before 1t
has been properly inspected and a GER
tiiicate issued by the inspectors.
Two inspectors have bccn put on the
bridges which cross frop the Island
into this city. whose duty II Is to look
over all such shipments which are COM
ing In daily by trucks. If they arc not
inspected properly and the driver can
show certificate for such they are
liable to a heavy fine as they arc riolat-
ing ono Of the strictest laws OF the fed
cral government by doing So.
Local officials in cha-~c Of the IN
spcction in this city point out that the
farmer who raises and slaughterS ms
own animals is the only man that cdh
ship interstate without first having his
product inspected. 1t is said that the
interstate law permits the farmer TO do
this while men who make business OF
purchasing and Strengthening animals
and producing the various products con-
nccted with the business must have GER
tif!cates showing that the proper inspec-
ton has been made and the animals
passed on as being free from commune
able diseases.
The assigning of government inspect
ore to take caro- Of tho animal product
that Is brought in from Ohio assures
local people that the practice Of bring
ing meat here and diSnosinG of II with
out proper certificates will be brought to
an end and that the danGer fdiscase-
bearing products entering the state Will
be greatly reduced.
1t Is said that the same condition Is
existing in Pennsylvania and that in
spectors will be put on all roads lead
ing into this state in hopes of breaking
UP such practice which ls considered one
of the worst that could be done.
