That is why we atien to abolish the posit pector."" His wor- ship remarked that it was time for Kingston to , a full-time paid heaith inspect and the medical staff of Queen's iversity was pre- pared to discuss e matter with the council. For t! n months Mayor Nickle said me had endeavored to | give the best Altention to the health condition . He had {tried todo h ir ry way and to give the citizens.a b nesslike and efficient administration. "I will not stand by and permit civic ineffici- ency," said the ma "You must deal with this matter on a business- | like basis." for that kin asked the may made this yor -- What the Inspector Has Done, Ald. Armstrong sai d it was not fair to deal only with things the milk in={ ed to do. He thought | spector had faile | the mayor should tell some of the things the inspector hid done that | were in the interests of Ey citizens, inspection | Ald. Clow held that the of the herds giving milk to the people was a very important matter, and he {thought that Dr. Bell had given good service in this respect by {pure milk was delivered to the peo- ple. To this replied that the delivery of the milk in the city had also to be consillered. Production was cone thing and delivery was The milk could be through carelessness vendors, and th 1 la inspecti sold. The mayor the mayor the local k of proper on of the stores where it is further a little the aldermen, he able to have made out a stronger case, but he never played in the cor- ner. He added that perhaps the in- spector would tell the council of the | and yet | which | many dirt tests he had made, {of all these tests, many of |showed up very bad, not one prosecu- tion had followed. Ald. O'Connor, who is chairman of the milk inspector. The chief fault | he had with the inspector was that he | had no business to go to the produ- | cers' premises twice, as they had ta- | ken out no licenses. He objected to pase the country looking at the pre- mises of producers who were not un- der license by the city. There should {have been increased efficiency and the enforcement of the milk by-law in to licenses, Ald. O'Connor | claimed. Ald. Graham's View, Ald Graham said that the mayor was to be commended for his action lin trying to enforce the inspection by-law. He held that the council was | a good. deal to blame in not having a by-law which .was workable. The | by-law had now proven to be unwork- = | able, ard he did not think the inspec- tor was so much to blame as it might | | appear. It would have been better it | the Board of Health had insisted that the inspector report every month, As to the enforcement of the by-law, he thought that was the duty of the po- lice. Ald Graham said that the milk inspector had done a good many things 'in the interests of the people. Ald. Stroud claimed that it was up to every city official to work out his Own by-law and get it workable if il was not so. He held that the oldtime inspection under the city commission- er was just as good as that of today. Ald. Litton stated that in 1917 he oppose" Dr. Bell's appointment. He did not think a milk' inspector was needed. Ald. Litton claimed that if any alderman veted against the fin- ance committee's recommendation he would be favoring inefficiency. Ald. Armstrong: "I won't vote to do without a milk inspector. Is pyre milk not more important than licen- ses?" Ald. Driscoll opposed the commit- tee's recommendation, The position of milk inspector appeared to him to be a very important one. Some other | means should be taken to effect a re- medy of existing conditions, and not to abolish the position. Ald. Angrove--"The committee's recommendation does not mean that we are to abolish milk inspection. I do not think the inspector has given efficient service." Ald. Corbett felt that the jnspector DANDERINE Stops Hair Coming Out; Thickens, Beautifies.

He thought jt might be po0s- | sible of course to get along without a veterinary inspector, Ald. Couper was for helping the in- 'spector rather than dismissing him. He might'do much better work if the milk by-law was made more work- able. Dr. Bell's Defence.

The inspector said he was not to blame censes not being issued. Licenses had been granted to 104 farmers, Last {year he had examined 2,556 cows, which supplied milk to Kingston. There were nineteen important milk | complaints, ar in half of these he ble due to the cow her- {self.. Dr. Bell presented a signed statenfent from the local storekeep ers who sold anilk, all saying that he (had inspected «heir premises from three to six times last year. he had not done ty. he would throw up was satisfied that he { found the tre it De past three years from the milk sold | for any of the li- | Beil was Invited to state his He said there were thirty | milk vendors in the city and he had | There had not been | one case of disease reported in the | | | i 1 | i He de- | his ! iven Tull value for the money | paid hi m tion to ref matter, back to the | finance comr e, in view of the fact | that the people would not sanction the abo ng of milk inspection, | This resolution was unanimously ag- reed to A License Matter, Before the milk inspector's posi- | tion was discussed, a letter from the | Board of Health was read. This letter | stated that the city treasurer had re- fused to issue a milk license two | weeks ago when an application had | | been made, and the board entered | complaint. Mayor Nickle stated that if any one | really had to he censured for the fail- | ure of the treasurer to issue this li- cense, he was the one to receive it. It | had been found that the milk by-law | was conflicting, having been reported as such by the police magistrate and the city solicitor, The conflicting | clauses had to be remedied, and he had advised the city treasurer, not | to issue licenses until the by-law was revised. When applications were | made for a license no harm would | come to the vendor, whose interests | would be fully protected. The mayor claimed that as a higher official of the city he had a perfect right to ad- vise the city treasurer as he had | done. He did not propose to call the council together and inform it of all things he intended doing. He was try- ing to do his duty to the city and sometimes it was necessary to act quickly. The mayor said he had in- | formed the milk inspector about the | matter after he. had spoken to the | treasurer about it. Milk By-law Amendments. The council at a late hour took up | the question of amendments to the | milk by-law, in order to meet the | wishes of the milk producers. The | by-law will be amended so that the | producers will not be required to take out a license, but will be grant- ed a permit to sell in the city after their cows and stables have been pro- nounced in accordance with the health requirements. It will also be | provided that in the event of the city | inspector demanding a tuberculin test, this test may be made by the producer's own veterinary. i | | { | | Woman Lives Six Years With Bullet in Brain London, Feb. 1.--A bullet which | entered a woman's brain six years | ago was stated at a Battersea in-| quest to be the cause of hér death | in St. James' Infirmary, Wands- | worth. | The woman, Emily Smith, thirty- | three years of age, an embroideress, | of Coningham Road, Sheperd's | Bush, was an assistant in .October, 1914, ata shooting gallery at Pentre, South Wales, when she was shot by accident.

Wild Scurry at Halifax : To Unload Liquor Cargo | Halifax, Feb. 1.--Eighteen thous- and cases of whiskey are being rush- ed ashore from the hold of the Cana- dian Government merchant marine steamer Canadian Runner, which ar- rived in port yesterday, fifteen days out 'from Glasgow and several days overdue, twenty-four hours before le- gal importation of liquor into the rrovince of Nova Scotia ceases. A good part of the whiskey aboard the Canadian Runner is consigned to Nova Scotians, and the delay in arri™ val of the vessel has taused consider- able anxiety to those who had shared in her cargo. .
