was opposed on third reading by
Messrs. Martin and Morris. The for
mer said the state board of health
and the attorney general did not wan
it, because ii sought to lower the test
standard and would, therefore, make
it more difficult to convict offenders.
Mr.. Hoagland defended the bill and

The state authorities opposed the
bill because il reduces the legal STAN
dard of milk from IL per cent. of SOL
