NO PROTESTS MADE IN THREE Districts
Milk Supply Given Rap
In Report Made by
Health Officer

Striving to complete the
cycle Of sanitary improve
ments as rapidly as possible SO
that the city may have this
protection during the remain
ing hot months of the sum-
mer. the city council last night fa-
eilitated the handling OF sanitary
districts so hat hey could
be pushed to completion before fall.
Last night had been set aside as
the time for filing protests against
the laying of sewers and other san
itary protection in districts Z. s and
3. The need of the improvements
is shown in the fact that no protest
either verbally or in writing was
made to the council.
These three districts comprise a
patching up move in which several
Casper areas will be connected up
with other districts that are getting
this city service.
The three sections are roughly
taken in by districts in the south
west part Of the city. one in the north
east part OF Casper and extending
along the entire east line of the city
to Butler addition.
When IL was found that, there was
no opposition to this Improvement the
council made every effort to facilit
the extension OF the sewer ines
Advertising for bids for construction
and material were ordered started al
once. Plans and specifications for the
work are now in the hands of the city
engineers office and Mr.. Knittie.. the
engineer. agreed to have. the specifi'
cations ready in time to allow con
tractors to submit their bid for the
work by August %.
Frank Paddle sought the support OF
the council to en1ble him to purchase
equipment that would be required In
establishing n garbage and sanitary
service in Casper. He wanted ithe
support Of the council so that he could
compel property owners here to clean
up their properties.
Such a Llan was objected to by c.
r.. Bodenbach. city sanitary officer
and pure food inspector on h ground
that II would be a doubling up of
work. The council informed Mr.. Paddi
that II couldn't give any moral back
ing or delegate police power TO a pri-
vate enterprise.
During the discussion on this ques-
ton 1t developed that Casper was lay
ing foundation for a regular garbage
service 10 be operated by the city here
next year. Arrangements it was said
had been made for a budget of $4,000
to handle this phase OF city business.
The plan has been laid to name sane
zz-t-orAAr who will work
in conjunction with health officers to
enforce sanitary regulation OF prop
critics.
Casper's milk Supply came In for a
severe arrangement from the city
health forces who sought the aid OF
the city council in working out a pro
gram of publicity that will acquaint
the people OF Casper with the sources
of good. fair and bad milk.
Under the plan. C. B. Bodenbach.
pure food inspector. was authorized to
get samples of the milk. and publish
his findings. This plan will be car
ried out. First Mr.. Bodenbach Will
make up a schedule of what grades of
milk should be and then he will show
the difference between the various
milk samples and point out the milk
which most nearly aDproximates the
standard set by the city.
The dangerous condition of some of
the milk supplies of Il city was
shown in Mr.. Bodenbach's statement
thai in a recent milk test here he
found one source Of milk that was
badly contaminated with bacteria A
fair grade of milk according to Mr..
Bodenbach should not contain more
mar 500 900 bacteria to h cubic
centimeter or Is drops. In the test in
question however the 10 drops were
found to contain an average of 11.ooo.-
900 bacteria life.
Mr.. Bodenbach has notified the
dairymen hat in future the results of
all tests that are not up to standard
will be published and If this does not
bring about the desired purpose of i'm
provement the milk supply will be cut
off and the offender prosecuted.
