The municipal authorities have en countered something of a snag in the enforcement of that part of the re cently passed city milk ordinance, particularly that part providing that all retailers should take out a license to sell the product. It develops that scarcely more than half of the stores that handle milk have taken out a license therefore The question was brought to a head through an order oTered by Aider man Douw to the effect that, under the circumstances, the city clerk be directed to refund to em-h of those who had taken out the license the fee of $2. Lunch KnniiiN Are Retailers There was considerable discussion of the issue from various angles, and this led up to further extending the provisions of the ordinance to include all restaurants and lunch rooms un- .t .
