TIMELY NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CITY'S SUBURBS
FIGHT ABOUT PIGS
AT GETTYSBURG
State Board of Health and
Borough Council Hitch on
Sqnitary Questions
Gettysburg, Pa., Aug. 16. The
poor pigs being raised in the borough
to help the families lighten their ex
penses in the time of the present
htgti prices are now holding the cen
ter of the stage. The authorities of
the State Department of Health have
been trying to force the borough
council to legislate against the pigs
and pig pens, but this the council
has refused to do up to date. Upon
the failure of the council to act, the
local board of health Issued an or
der that all pigs would have to be re
moved from the borough limits and
the pens cleaned and put in a prop
er state of sanitation. A time limit
4n which the order must be com
plied with was given.
About 150 citizens of the town who
are pig raisers then had their inning
and an indignation meeting was held
in the courthouse to protest against
the action of the board of health
and to prevent, if possible, the re
moval of the animals. Many of the
owners have removed their pigs to
places outside the borough limits, but
some have not. At the meeting of
the owners a fund was raised and
attorneys retained to represent their
side of the case. It is likely the mat
ter will be carried into the courts.
