The SEALING LAW
WORKS HARM SAYS
INSPECTOR SCOTT

At the meeting OF the board of alder
men THIS afternoon Inspector OF MIX
Walter O. Scott presented his report for
the quarter ending July l. 1906.
The number OF prosecutions for the
quarter is smaller than that of any pre-
viOus year being only three.
r. The report I'm part was as follows
During this quarter ia samples or
milk in original packages were examiner
for the number OF bacteria in each cubic
centimeter which they contained, and 26.o
Of the samples examined contained more
than 100000 bacteria. an amount far In
excess of the number which good milk
should contain.
The zee Of three cents for the sealing
OF milk Jars and bottles. i'm accordance
with section OF chapter 1342. is operat-
ing in my opinion, against the best In
terest OF the public health. / believe that
IT Is highly desirable that the practice
OF selling milk IN original packages put
up AT the farm where they may he free
from the possible contamination of the
dust OF our city streets, should be en-
couraged rather than discouraged. Many
Of the dealers have given up selling the
milk In glass bottles and have been COM
PEELED to return 10 the less desirable
method OF measuring milk i'm the streets
a practice which | would like 10 see pro-
hibited by law. | hope that some action
may be taken whereby the charge for
sealing may be reduced 10 a nominal
figure"

he n good thing for them and they are
heartily I'm favor OF the same. The union
In Woonsocket as well as those of New
port and Westerly, are saying that as
soon as the one in this city, which Is the
largest, calls the convention they will
send on delegates.
What the union will mean TO the unions

there will be fraternal delegates visit
ing at each Of the meetings all over the
