hiptrtma law.
The City Council in regular ses
sion next Monday night will hold'-a
hearing on the proposed milk and
meat inspection law for the city.
The proposed ordinance which
will rgulatc the sale of milk and
meats in the city and also set up a
system cf inspection for aU kitch
ens and eating places, was read at
the meeting the first of this month
and a public hearing was held a few
days later. Leading dairymen are
favoring the law with some modifi
cations. Meat dealers also want the
inspection law but the question that
has come before council is whether
the law is not too strict for a city
the-size of MiUedgeville. The law
requires the employment of a licen
sed vctcranarian for the inspection
work.
The council has invited all per
sons interested in this law to appear
before the board Monday and ex
press their opinions.
The meeting next Monday will be
the final of the year, unless a special
session is held about Christmas
time.
The council will also discuss plans
for the opening of the bridge over
the Oconee river. Mr. Bill Young,
of Cornell-Young Co., contractors in
charge of the construction of the
bridge, expressed the opinion that
it would be Feb. 1st before the
bridge would be ready to open. The
council is planning a gala celebra
tion to open the bridge when a
marker will be- placed naming the
bridge The Old Capitol.
