of this report he stated that he had
not been receiving proper co-opera-
ton from Mr.. Dafoe and that the
latter had not only failed to bring
in samples of milk asked for by tho
health officer but had talked about
DIR. O'Donnell and had charged him
with taking graft money from a
local dairy.
IT do not consider hat the food
inspector is competent to crlticise me
and my work because he does not
know enough about t. said Dr..
O'Donnell.
Mr.. Dafoe replied by denying that
he had made such statements and
further said that he had repeatedly
furnished the health officer with
samples of milk which were never
tested.
The argument seemed in the
minds OF certain councilmen to be
somewhat OF a personal one. Alder
al Pettingill. however. took up the
stand against Dafoe and charged
that the milk he had been getting
at his house had never been in
spected. "I am satisfied with the
analysis we are getting. but not
with the sanitary SERVICE" said Mr.
Pettingill.
1t was brought out that although
there was undoubtedly some work
that was left undone which rightly
came under the office Of the city
food inspector. the task which had
been set for Mr.. Dafoe was an i'm
possible one. The numerous milk IN
spectiors. the close surveillance over
restaurants md the inspection Of the
sanitary conditions OF the city gem
orally are labors that demand assist
ance. It was pointed u

md even any committee of the city
council and show you where things
that should have beer one hive

ton "You are asking an impossibility
of this man."
The office Of city chemist was
created on tho request Of Or. o'Don-
nell who stated that in his present
capacity MS city health officer there
there were many things that he
could not do IL a matter came up to
be prosecuted in tho courts.
The doctor also requested that tho
council instruct the city nttorney to
draw up two new ordinances. : one
for the regular inspection Of milk
, 1923-06-26

and the publication OF more COM
plete reports of the results of the
inspection and an ordinance for the
inspection OF all water and ice sold
by private concerns in the city.
AT 1870 o'clock this afternoon the
contracts on Paving districts 30. 81.
and 80 were to be let either to the
Warren Construction company or to
the Lloyd Building company. since
these were the only two bidders last
night.
When the discussion of banning
carnivals from the city came up
certain Of the aldermen were so
empathic that they wanted an or
dinance drawn prohibiting carnivals
in Casper but this was finally toned
down TO a mere motion prohibiting
any more carnivals this year.
A motion was lost TO have the
council enter into a contract with
the Mountain Realty and Title cor
poration whereby the city would in
stall water in the Butler addition I'M
der the consideration that the cor
poration should file a heavy bond
to cover the cost.

BOMBS IN PHILA.

Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-A squad of
special agents sent here by the depart
ment of justice at Washington Joined
the local authorities tonight in a sys-
tematic search of the city for six men
believed to have planted the bombs
that wrecked the Spanish and Italian
consulates early yesterday. The homes
of all known radicals and places where
they congregate were visited by the
police and many were searched At
several places they were refused ad-
mittance because they had no search
warrants. Guards were stationed out
side these places and warrants will be
issued tomorrow.
Director of Public Safety Cortell-
you, after conference with Secret
Service representatives of the Spanish
and Italian governments, said that ev-
cry available agency of the city. state
and federal government would be
placed on the investigation and that he
expected arrests within 81 hours.
Federal agents expressed the belief
that the bombings were part of plot
involving other cities. I'VE are work
ing especially along the lines of a
radical plot that would include ,other
cities" said Walter Foster, head of the
department of justice agents in this
district. Our efforts will be bent to-
ward preventing wholesale occurrences

per $1,000 of insurance would be adj
vanced to $50 per $1,000 soon. With

value in the front of the establish
ment were overlooked or neglected
in the robbers haste to escape.
