Mayor Gill signed it at 9:30 a. m. Wednesday. Councilman Lundy voted for it, as predicted in The Star Tuesday. Councilman Hesketh followed his promise made Tuesday forenoon and voted for it. Those still opposing it were Councilmen Erickson, Bolton and Marble. The bill, as passed, provides among other things that all milk consumed in Seattle either must be pasteurized or must come from cows | which have been submitted to the jtuberculin test. This, according to national authorities, assures Seattle of safe milk. In voting for the ordinance Hes- keth introduced an amendment, pro- viding for the right of appeal by dairymen to the health commis- sioner from decisions of subordin- ates in the department. The amend- ment was adopted. Lundy, Tuesday afternoon, an- nounced that immediately following Mayor Gill's signing of the bill, he will introduce a resolution provid> ing that it be submitted to the voters as a referendum measure @@ the March elections. Mayor Gill, however, is of the opinion that this cannot be done, in- asmuch as the council has approved jof it. He says that in the case of the double platoon system it came }to the council an initiative pe- |tition and therefore required the people's endorsement after being passed by the council The new ordinance will effective within 30 days, ‘BULLY!’ SAYS OTTO CASE Coincident with announcement at the office of the city school su- faces Wednesday that plans ere progressing satisfactorily for ine entertainment of the Paterson, |Indiana, teachers, when they ar- jrive Thursday night, came a lette become jto The Star from Otto Case, secre- |tary of the Commereial Club. | The Star is doing splendid work in keeping track of the time of Arrival in Seattle of different so cleties and tourist parties, and then giving publicity to the fact,” |says the letter. “In the long run, this will be of as much benefit to the city as anything we could pos- sibly do along the line of taking jcare of our visitors Case told The Star Wednesday that the Commercial Club has taken on itself all plans for the en- tertainment of Gov, Dunn and the Ilinols state official party when it arrives here July 21, en route home from San Francisco, &
