COURT DECIDES
"HOG ZONE" CASE
In Test Suits Brought at Car-1
lisle Judge Gillan Sustains
Health Board
Carlisle, Pa., June 11.—That Car- j
lisle's "hog zone" ordinance was legal I
has been decided by Judge W. Rush \
Gillon of Chambersburg, who specially
presided in hearings of test cases
brought over the trouble. Judge Gil
lan holds in his opinion that the Leg
islature in creating local boards of
health made them with a view of
properly safeguarding the public in
terests and declares that they are a
part of the Legislative branch of gov
ernment. It is further stated that
trie borough council cannot alter or
change a rule of the board of health
without the concurrence of the latter
body.
The trouble here dates some years
back, \vhen the board of health draft
ed as part of their rules a provision
that hogs could not be kept in a cer
tain zone in the central part of the
town. Hotel owners and others ob
jected and the case was taken into
the courts. In the meantime the bor
ough council repealed the section of
the rules which governed the zone.
This they were without power to do,
the Franklin county jurist finds.
