BRIDGEPORT.

The New Haven Morning News gives a column and half article on milk adul- teration, describing the festive milkman and the alleged milk he sells in unmis- takable terms. It adds:
 Great danger to the consumers of milk sold in some stores and markets arises from the absorption of impurities into the milk. If there is an uncovered pail or pitcher of milk in a refrigerator which contains a bit of ta1nt- | ed meat or decaying vegetable, the milk rap | idly absorbs the poisonous properties of the decomposing substance. Yet there are hun dreds of families in the city who not only buy milk from stores and markets where scleanli- ness is of minor consideration, but feed it to infants whose only food is milk. Adulterated milk is prescribed by law and the people who sell it as pure milk, or keep it with intent to | sell it as such, may De fined $I or sent to jail for 30 days, or both To convict them, howess CT, it is necessary to prove by chemical anal has no officer ts do this, so the dealers may sell milk as impure as they can without fear I of any penalty.
 Bridgeport has the same trouble. Milk is adulterated in various ways and inn properly cared for and the result, in too many cases, is death. Some years ago this subject was taken up and the com mon council urged to appoint milk in spector, but the matter finally dropped. All honest millxmen would rejoice if the idea of Prof Brewer of New Haven were carried out. He thinks that there should be an ordinance providing that all milk dealers should be recorded; that none should be allowed to sell until their names and addresses are given to the proper official. There should also be some means of detection and prosecut- ion. In short, there should be milk in-- | spector, whose mission would be to pre- vent rather than punish.
