This was done in ' the- face of the
fact that Maguire advised the boy to
go quietly with Day and to offer no

Should Day see fit to flla a complaint

The published announcement by Dr.
C. H. Wheeler, city health officer, that
pending, revision of the new milk ordi
nance Portland Is without any legal reg
ulation of the milk supply seems to be
unauthorisud and mistaken.
That in making such an announcement
Dr. Wheeler not only .acted unwisely, but
without reason and 'without authority,
is the opinion of Mayor Simon. Dr. Alan
Welch Smith, president of the city board
of health, and of City Auditor Barbur.
'Our hands are tied; we can do noth
ing," said Dr. Wheeler.
This he said referring to a request
that he made of Chief of Police Cox that
milkmen be allowed to deliver milk aa
they desired without being molested, and
further in regard to his attitude that no
licenses for the sale of milk can be is
sued until revisions are made, the whole
ordinance being, therefore, In hia view.
void and of no effect. ; '
Changes Incidental.
The Incidental change of license isau-
ance from the auditor's office to tlu
health office, under supervision of the
health board, was agreed to recently by
the police and health committee and the
health board. An amendment of Coun
cilman Belding Including Inspection of
butter and cheese waa considered .desir
able. The necessity for making tramedi
at appointment of additional inspectors
or else icohtlnutnir the life ofthe office
held. by . Dr.: D- W Mack,, presenttclty
milk Inspector, was also conceded.'These
ohangea,v Maysor. Simon, ami tne health
baavdi-ahd the oounctlmen agreedV were
inoMtenUl. and related. only tn,. otrw
:6rjtrt3in;6"aud"not to the relation, ef
dairymen to tne law or tne omciais.
' ."The health" and police " committee
must act." said Dr. Wheeler. "We must
wait on thelaaction. The ordinance cut
Dr. j Mack' oHW-itbout anything and at
the-time his salary waa overdrawn. No
appropriation has 'been 'made for th
new Inspectors." 1
Ki; ii'i Sc. WbeelefB .better, (r
'The' letter, which Dr. Wheeler ' sent
Chief Cox reads' thus: , ' ' - '
The present status of the-milk or
dinance is 'such that I would suggest
temporarily- the non-interference with
the milkmen, s The ordinance Is at pres
ent before the council and the. police
and health committee for revision which
win probably oe a one at tne nexc coun
cil meeting. I think thia la but Just
to the-milk people."
Dr. Wheeler did not act upon any au
thority" of the-board of health In send
ing such a-letter or in making aa an
nouncement of such character," assert
ed Dr. Alan Welch Smith. "We have
the law. It has been adopted by the
council. "We have ho reason or right
to advertise that w have no law or
that we cannot control the supply of
mlli." : : "
Mayor Wot Informed.
This ' is a serious matter." said
Mayor. Simon. "I will aay frankly that
I . knew nothing ; about It. We must
have an 'enforcement of the law. We
muat not let any motive of politics or
any motive but to protect the people of
this city against impure milk actuate
us. Nor- must we be too nara on tne
dairymen. I desire above all things to
be reasonable, but I do not think It
wise to let the general Impression get
out that we are without law. We are
not without law We muat enforce the
law w have."
Old law Xtnaiai.
"Law enforcement Is the thing we
need," declared City Auditor Barbur. "I
had no. Idea. In recommending Inciden
tal revisions that until those revisions
were accomplished the law would go
off the books. I do think It natural and
proper that the health board should Is
sue the lioensa. because I know nothing
about the milk supply. "But" T do be
lieve In enforcement. This Is too seri
ous a matter to dally over, and entirely
too serious to let wrong Impressions or
incorrect announcements gain public
ity."" . ...
Immediate Actio a.
Dr. Smith stated this morning, aa did
Mayor Simon, that' the status of the
milk ordinance will be aetiously looked
Into at once, and action extraordinary
taken. If necessary, to continue protec
ting the people ef Portland against the
evlla of bad milk.

Reiterate Report Supporting
Firemen's Request for Im
provement of Quarters and
- Better Hours ' Differ
With Views of JIaybr.
The' Baptist,, ministers opined this
morning that the firemen's - Quarter
matter has come to a question of ve
racity between the ministers and tha
mayor. In consequence, Mr, Schwedlor
reiterated all he told last week to the
General Ministers' association and added
a little more to substantiate hia state
ment,- ; -
Mr. Thurston . and Mr. Cook, who
were both on the original committee ap
pointed to investigate, apologised for
their Inability on account of the wea
ther, to be present at the Investigation,
but confessed to a little private Investi
gation on -their own account, which had
shown conditions to be as the commit
tee had reported cold, ; cheerless,1 Un
sanitary rooms and long hours. .,
Blind er yrejudloed.
Schwedler declared the mayor Is either
blind or. prejudiced since he had followed
the ministers' agitation with the state
ment that there was no complaint among
the firemen and conditions vwere all
right Mr. - Schwedler said some few
had not signed ' the , petition bocause
they were afraid of losing their , heads,
but that since the mayor's stand almost
all who formerly-refused have signed.
