Williams, director of the Ouachita perish health unit, said: warrant was secured by Inspector West of the health department agaiast the Jersey Gold Creamery because he thought the plant was violating a city ordinance which forbids the sale of pasteurized milk which, has been pasteurized outside the city limits.

Up to the time of this statement there has been no proof that the milk was actually sold, but Mr. West knows that he was informed it was for sale. From now on, we have been assured, all pasteurized milk sold in the city will, as in the past, be pasteurized in Monroe and raw milk used for this purpose will meet all requirements of the standard milk ordinance, The health department will continue to assure itself that these requirements are met.

Police said they had requested Louisville and Nashville officials to make a careful search of cars and locomotive! that passed over the lines during the afternoon on the possibility that the child might have been struck down by a train and her body caught and carried away in the machinery.
