 Final adoption by the Bessemer city council of the milk inspection ordinance drawn up by Dr. J. D. Bowling. head of the county health department, was forecast at the Tuesday night session of the council, when Mayor R. P. McTyere's veto killed the ordinance submitted by the Dairymen's association, which was adopted at the last meeting. On motion of Alderman George Stoves, consent for the immediate passage of the ordinance submitted by the county health board was asked, with slight modification to which pr. Bowling had consented Immediate passage of the ordinance failed be- cause of an adverse vote of Alder man c. H. Dabbs, but not until six affirmative votes had been cast on roll call. These six votes will as- sure the final passage of the county ordinance. Aldermen voting for this ordinance were: L. Y. Lipscomb, J. NJ Woods, Kelly Johnson, Charles Ray R. M Mengea and T. A. Stoves. When the ordinance as amended l failed to get unanimous consent for passage because of the adverse vote of Alderman Dabbs, no further vote was taken and 1t was referred to the market committee, to be reported at the next session of the council.
