Show ORDINANCES if COMEJJPTONiGHT Two Important Measures Arc Xow Pending in the City Council. BOTH ARE ON LINE OF PROTECTION OF FOOD Contest Is Expected Over Mat- ter of Outlet Pipe Between Be-tween Solons. If tho city attorney is ready with the ordinance providing for tho government gov-ernment inspection of meat, two highly high-ly important food measures will come beforo the ciiy council at tonight's session. ses-sion. An ordinnnco providing for the inspection by government inspectors of every pieco of meat produced or sold in the ciry requires some labor in drafting, draft-ing, however, and it is doubtful if this food measure will get before the council coun-cil tonight. But unless there is too much oratory on other subjects, City Food Inspector Frazior 's new milk and dairy ordinance will conic up for passage, on a favorable favor-able report from tho sanitary committee, commit-tee, and unless too man' amendments aro offered, which is not likely, the measure will go through. It and tho government meat iuspcclion bill mean much to the health of tho city. Tho main provisions of Mr. Frazicr's new ordinanco aro as follows: Provisions of Ordinance.

The council will also rcccivo the board of public works' resolution to tho effect that that body has decided to accept the outlet pipe, which is likely to occasion somo high-class oratory or-atory and also consumq considerable time.

Tho mayor will be present, but declined de-clined to say Sunday uightwhcthcr he will send iii a communication on the subject. |
