Bessemer, Ala, Aug. s
 Consistant improvement in Besse- mers milk supply, under the opera tions of the recently adopted milk or rdinance, is reported by Inspector George W. Patton in his report to the city council this week. The report was given on ratings of dairies which were made from milk tests at the county laboratory under Dr. J. D. l Bowling.
 This is the third monthly report, as verified by the county laboratory and each month has shown a decline in the bacteria count. The dairies are allowed Is months to reduce the bacteria in their milk and in three months many of them have met this requirement. Dr. Patton states he believes all of them will have their milk up to standard several months before the limit set.
 The report also shows that there are 52 meat markets and places where fresh meat is sold. The in spector has been checking up on these places, requiring them to in- stall screening and keep their meats In good condition. A considerable portion of the meeting of the coun- cil was devoted to a discussion upon the propriety of the city designating the City National bank as a deposi-
  S-mill school tax. The council It a previous session passed resolution naming this institution as the de- pCsitory because of the fact that this bank together with Ward Sterne company had bought in the s150,000 issue of school bonds the tax Is to retire. This action was protested by W. II. Lewis, president of the First National bank, who petitioned the council to revoke the resolution, which was denied.
