That the city council will adopt the recommendation of Dr. Levin, create a milk ordinance which is properly en forced, is without question, and that to further protect the sanitation of our water supply, the recommendations where possible made by Sanitary Engineer Green will be followed. Of most importance in the recommendations of Dr. Levin is the creation of a new sewer ordinance to require property owners to connect to the city sewer, where such connection is available. Cooperating with the state board of health, the council must do all in its power to follow where possible the rec ommendations made, to take action to protect the lives and health of those living in our city. MISS SMOKERS HELD HERE The members of the boxing commission are in some what of a turmoil in their readjustment of affairs, and have decided to postpone holding matches in this city until they get their affairs straightened out. It is hoped that the commission will not overlook the main reason why bouts or smokers are held in this city, which is to furnish entertainment which assists in bringing people from the nearby settlements into our city on Satur day evenings.
