The decision to kill the milk ordi
nance was made by the members of
the council following a discussion In
which prominent dairymen took a
part. , Opposition to the measure as
framed was voiced by the dairymen
on the grounds that In some respects
It would be practically Impossible for
them to comply with all of the pro

rored Inspection, that they wanted
their, cows given tuberculosis exami
nations, and that the public had a
cordial Invitation at any time to look
over their barns and milk houses.

spector who was hero last spring. He
took samples of milk produced here
