report which everyone is entitled to read, being construct­
ive, the basis on which the survey is held.
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.
