ECONOMY CHANGES
MADE IN Community
BUILDING MATERIAL
Cost to Be Kept Within Funds
at city-county Disposal;
May Finish Pool, Too

Alternate changes In materials to
be used In the memorial community
building. according to the bids sub
lnitted by all contractors at the time
Of letting the contract, were sane
toned by the city commission, Mon
day evening. on recommendation Of
Architect Liebenberg, so as to bring
the structure within the 500 900 at
the disposal Of the city and county.
The idea also is to find means for
finishing the balcony and swimming
pool at the same time as the remain
der Of the building. instead of later.
The American Legion has offered
81 900 as a donation for these latter
purposes.
AS calculated by City Auditor M. H.
Atkinson, the change in materials will
cut the price of Contractor A. j.
Weinberger by $5,462 and the price of
Frank Grambs in plumbing by $l,138.
With the $24. 900 paid for the lots. the
cost of the building will be kept to
$207. 522. IS, leaving approximately
s 1880 for the portion supposed to be
left unfinished.
The demand Of H. L. Gray for $131
damages for injuries sustained in
running into a rope stretched by city
workmen across Main avenue at
Seventh street, recenIy. was rejected,
m IN opinion by City Attorney C. L..
Young that the city was not liable,
as 1t had exercised all due caution.
There was a feeling Of sympathy,
however. for Gray. whose was
severely ripped by the rope, while his
q engine and windshield were dam
aged, and some commissioners felt
that II there was a way, so as not to
set a precedent, Gray's expenses
should be paid. His excuse for ap-
parent carelessness was that the sun
was shining in his eyes at the time
and the red flag on the rope had been
wrapped about it by the wind.
The police magistrates report for
April showed fines of 1927 collected in
cash. with $173.85 still to be paid on

SIX MILK SOURCES
Shut OFF IN april
5acterioIogist Reports Too
Large Amounts Of Bacteria
in Some Supplies

Bismarck milk supplies In part have
been running too high in bacterial
content. DR.. A. w. Ecklund, state
bacteriologist here, reported to the
city commission in his April state
ment as to the work Of the labora-
tory on milk and water samples.
The bacteriologist reported that as
q consequence Of this, six sources Of
supply were condemned as totally IN
satisfactory for the production OF
milk to be used in the city and were
barred from selling here. One, how
ever, asked for a retest and on this
the milk from his dairy proved very
satisfactory. The dairy had been
cleaned up after the first discreditine
test.
1nsistence on cleanliness by DR.. A,
W. Munson, the dairy inspector for
the city, is getting results, said the
psychologists report. There has
been a noticeable decrease in bacter-
Ia in milk and in the cleanliness OF
the supply. DR.. Ecklund reported. He
added:
Taken a. a whole I would say that
the milk was not in a very good con-
dition during the month. Seven
samples out Of the ~ had bacterial
counts up in the millions. Due to
this fact, the pasteurized milk on sew
eral occasions had a count higher
than $4,000 bacteria per c. c. Since
all these sources Of milk having high
count have been eliminated. I hope
to see the counts drop materially dur
ing the month"
In the grading Of the milk, grade
A raw and p~asteurized, shall not con-
tain more than $4,000 bacteria per
c. c.; grade B, raw and pasteurizcd,
not more than 100.0 900 per c. c. Raw
supply Of milk that Is to be sold shall
not contain more than 100000 bac-
terra per c. c. The butter fat shall
not be less than 81 per cent.
The psychologists report on milk
conditions is published as a legal no.
tice in another column and shows
whose milk Is good, bacterial or dirty.

His death was so sudden and UNI

For some time he had been con-

Shortly after noon today he was

THREATENS FLOOR ACTION
Retention Of Islands AdverseI,

THREATENS FLOOR ACTION

Washington, May l3.-tP-A pre-
diction that unless some action on
the Philippine independence ques-
ton Is taken at this session of con
gress, "the question will be one OF
the paramount issues in the 1882
campaign" was made in the house
today by Representative Knutson
Republican. Minnesota.
The agricultural sections Of the
country will rally to the support OF
the party that comes out unequivo-
cally for the early independence OF
the Islands, said the Minnesotan, who
Is author Of a resolution to grant the
Fflipinos their freedom.
knutson added he had served no.
tice on the insular committee, to
which his measure was referred, that
unless 1t is acted upon and referred
to the house, he will invoke the rules
to take the resolution from the COM
mittee and bring it direct to the floor
Of the house for consideration.
Based on Economics
Basing his argument largely upon
the economic phase of the question
the Minnesotan said:
4 am in favor Of the immediate
independence of the Philippine
Islands because their retention adj
versely affects American agriculture
and labor. Last year we imported
something like seven hundred million
pounds Of vegetable oils from the
Islands. This enormous quantity OF
oil was used in the manufacture of
butter substitutes and soaps and
therefore entered into direct compe-
tition with dairy interests and
swine raiSerS. I have no doubt but
that the present low price in butter
and lard Is due largely to this enor-
nous importation Of vegetable oils.
Farmer Pays Bill
"The Philippine Islands also ex-
ported to the United States between
500 and 900 million tons of sugar, dis
placing an equal amount of American
grown beet and cane sugar. So long
as the Islands can continue to export
to the United States. vegetable oil
and sugar duty free, how long will the
American farmer continue to pay the
bill for their occupation?
Not only does the Philippine
farmer compete with the American
farmer, but the Filipino who comes
to the United States to work is q
keen and serious competitor for the
American laboring man.
In addition to affecting us ad-
versely from the economic angle, they
r also an e present menace to
our peace"

CITIZENS SEWER COMMITTEE
NAMED BY CITY COMMISSION
South Side Surface Drainage
Problem Too TickIish for
City Fathers Alone
THREAT OF ANOTHER SUIT
Louis carske Appears to Warn
Administration He May Re-
peat Action He Won

Solution Of the south side surface
water sewerage problem was passed
owe to q committee Of citizens and
taxpayers by the city commission,
Monday evening. AS an advisory
committee to act With the commits
sion in reaching some plan Of action
In the face OF threatened law suits
for damages, r. B. Webb. John Peter
son, H. j. Duemeland, F. L. Conklin
and N. O. Ramstad were named.
The commission had reached the
point where plan after plan had re-
suited in reducing cost Of proposed
relief from nearly 100000 to about
$4,000, unless It be decided to con-
struct a mere open ditch. The COM
mission has not felt like going ahead
at such an expense and making the
improvement that will divert uptown
surface flow of rain water to the
Missouri river, thereby to avoid
flooding the Will nursery, the Garske
farm and other bottom properties.
Taxpayers Are Directing
Besides, objections Of taxpayers
have come to the ears OF the commits
sion. The matter had come to the
point, last night, where nobody on
the commission seemed to know what
to do. Commissioner Wachter pro-
posed that the slate be wiped clean
Of what has been done 20 far and
that a new start be made.
What has been done has been to
rreota an irnpro1yoSoaok ASekrirf ~ fha
entire city and to have eight plans
for relief drawn. These plans in
volve new sewer additions between
Third and Eighth streets on Bowen
avenue, proposals Of impounding
dams of Is acres south of Bowen
avenue between Third and Sixth
streets, another impounding dam Of
ten acres west Of the baseball park
to connect with the Jackman coulee
and a pipe line to the river, OF the
alternative Of draining the surface
waters into the sanitary sewer out
there.
City Attorney G. L. Young report
ed in an opinion as to the law that
the city could acquire land as q dis
charge site for sewerage. Section
1897, compiled laws Of 1913. he said,
includes authority for purchase or
condemnation, the cost Of such land
to be distributed to the entire city
by inclusion In the general cost Of
the sewer system and by levy Of spe-
cial assessments. Having this power,
Attorney Young held that the city
has implied power to acquire m or
more outlets.
Another Threat Of Suit
The city has received two commun-
ications SO far from the Oscar Will
Seed company, warning that suits
for damages will be brought II there
be further damage to the company's
nursery at the foot of Seventh street
on the bottoms by surface flow floods
from uptown. Last night another
threat Of suit was added to the list.
by Louis Garske. who appeared be-
fore the commission and announced
that he might have to repeat his legal
action Of last year, when he won
damages in district court on . COM
plant about surface water from the
city flooding his property. He said
he would not take such action II the
city proceeded to do something now.
