6 c. Thompson, the State diary in
spector connected with the department
of agriculture, was at the department
Tuesday, on matters connected with
the department. In speaking of the
work which had been done and which
is ~ be done he mentioned the recent
prosecutions of two parties in Portland
against whom proceedings had been
instituted because of their having
served oleO argerine in restaurants
without notifying customers. The first
case was against Henry j. Lessard who
is the proprietor of the Jefferson Hotel
and also owns a quick lunch establish
mcnt, but the case against him was
mol pressed and the name of Bradford
j. Rodick was substituted in the war
rant. The second case was against
James NJ. O'Hara, and the two men
were bound over to the May term Of
the superior court for Cumberland
county for sentence.
Mr.. Thompson also stated that he
should start in with the systematic in
Spcction of the butter i'll stores and
restaurants, and that in connection
herewith will make an inspection of
the market milk sold in the cities, from
Il bacterial standpoint. The inspection
so far as butter is concerned has been
conducted in the Western part of the
State, and will be taken up in the East
err portion, commencing with Bath.
In connection with the subject of
Oleo, is not anticipated that there will
be need of further action by the au-
thorities, as the decision in the two
cases cited above will be likely to serve
as a preventive for further violations Of
the law in that respect.
