bESSEMER PEOPLE WILL TAKE y0TEON M l. K ORDINANCE
Referendum Election Called by City Council for
 April 5
BESSEMER BUREAU 1
 THE AGE-HERALD !

The city council adopted resolu- tion at the Tuesday evening meet ing referring the milk ordinance controversy to popular election. which is to be called on April 5. The resolution was introduced by Alder man George Stevenson and received six favorable votes, those voting no being Aldermen R. M. Minges, J. M. Wood and l.. '. Lipscomb. These three took the position that in view of the fact that the ordinance former ly submitted by the county health au- thorities was in line with work be- ing done by that department in other cities in the county, the Bessemer council should adopt the county law.
 The resolution calling for refer endum election reads in part as fol- lows: Be 1t resolved by the city council that an election be called for April in order to submit to the qualified electors whether or net 1t Is their desire that the said city coun- cil adopt an ordinance now intro- duced and referred to as the Bowling ordinance, and Bowling rule, or council adopt suitable ordinance that will insure pure milk, and that shall be prepared by a special com mittee to be elected by the city coun- cil and Bessemer rule"
 By the adoption of this resolution the city council passes tho milk ordi- nance controversy on to the people. After six months disagreement the council has been unable to adopt either an ordinance submitted by Dr.. Bowling, which is the same as in ef- feet in Birmingham and Fairfield and Is indorsed by the medicar fra ternity of the city and county, or a substitute ordinance which has been drawn up by the dairymen's associa- tion and submitted through it's presi- dent, J. A. Estes.
 At the Tuesday evening meeting of the council an ordinance was intro duced to float s150,000 in school bonds to complete and equip the new high school building, and to supplement the general school fund. A con- tract was also let to J. I. Baty to compile the city tax book for the year 1923 at a cost Lf $500. Alderman w. T. Loveless introduced an ordi- nance requiring restaurants, soda fountains and other public places to sterilize by live steam all utensils used by them, this being referred to the sanitary committee.

There were a number of speakers and the county milk ordinance. was se- vercly criticised.
 J. A. ESteS, president or the aSSo- ciationh was the principal speaker and based his objection to the county ordinance mainly on having the law enforced by persons not living in Bessemer. This reference was to the county health board and It's repre- .sentatives, Dr. J. D. Bowling. Pink ney Scott attacked the ordinance ON the grounds that 1t was an attempt to federalize local police power. He said that the effect of the ordinance would be to curtail the powers of Bessemer officials and center in the county officials In Birmingham.
 The Dairymen's association has op- posed the passage of the county health department ordinance and has offered settlement which has been vetoed by Mayor R. P. McTyeire.
