at the risk of causing temporary incon-
venlence to the public, feels compelled to
enforce the ordinance, but in order TO re-
duce the Inconvenience to a minimum 1t
has decided TO hold such enforcement IN
allowance until November 10. This will
make the second extension of a month or
more given to the Borden Company, and
or much longer than any other dealer, to
comply with the code.
Although the board has never wavered
IN It's determination to enforce the tuber-
culin-test requirement of its code. it has
k counsel-veterinary, sanitary and
medical. as well as le~gal-regarding he de-
STABILITY and practieabilitv of its stand.
It's latest act In this respect was to invite
the physicians of the town to a conference
October 81. The whole subject was gone
yer n aetall. From, the remarks of the
physicians made at the conference and In
private, we feel confident of the support
of the medical profession of the town In
supply.
In conclusion perhaps we should make
more clear than has yet been done the
OBJECT of the tubereulin test and of the
exclusion of all tuberculosis COWS from
nerds supplying milk for Montclair. The
ooJect is TO contribute to the reduction of
the nigh mortality from tuberculosis (con-
SUMPTION which prevails in Montclair, as
elsewhere. and which in our town caused
dz;z per cent. of all deaths during 1896.
Ihis disease, 1t Is now generally accepted,
through the milk of tuberculosis cattle.
,Furlher details, regarding this or any
oiner phase Of this whole matter will
gladly be supplied by the board, its mem
Ders or the health officer to any and all
inquiring parties"
The circular is signed by M. N. Baker,
president of the board; DIR. Richard p.
Francis, DR.. Levi w. Halsey, John N.
Holton, secretary. The fifth member of
the board, Herbert M. Lloyd, is absent
from town, but Joined in the latest re-
vision. of the sanitary code, 1t IS stated.
A circular is being delivered by the Bor-
den COMPANY to its customers in Montclair
today in answer to the circular pit out by
the Board of Health. S. Y. Henry, the
manager of the company, said today that
ms company was trying to comply with
the Aontelair ordinance. The company
bad offered the dairymen from whom It
purchased milk 81 a head to cover inspec-
ton by a veterinary and agreed to pay
TOR all cattle that did not come up to the
tuberculin test. This the d%airymen refused,
saying they were now complying with all
the requirements of the New York State
Board of Heauth. The Borden Company
sells over 5000 quarts a day in Montclair,
and has fourteen delivery wagons in that
town. The circular is:
1T Is with extreme regret that we are
obliged to announce to our Montclair GUS
toners that OIL and after November Is.
1907 we will be Unable to make any milk
deliveries in the town of Montelair. This
necessity has been forced upon us by the
action of your Board of Health. In our
experience covering a period of fifty years
in the originating. and developing of pro
g~ressive sanitary ideas and applying them
to the production and handling of pure
milk, we nave for the first time encoun-
tered a restriction of so impractical a ma
tnre as to prevent our continuance in
business in the territory affected.
About six months ago the Montclair
Board of Health included in its new code
the requirement that the tuberculin test
should be applied to all cows contributing
to the Montclair milk supply, a stipulation
which no other municipality has yet at
tempted to apply on the lines adopted by
the Montclair board. We presented to the
board early in April, before the code was
adopted, the difficulties which would be
encountered in the attempt to require such
examination and restrictions of herds. While
ultimately 1t is possible hat this tuberculin
test may be more generally accepted, 1t is
far from enjoying unrestricted Endorsement
at the present time. Our customers have
been well informed of the practice of this
company as to safeguards established in
supervising the milk produced and distrib-
uted to them, and we presume 1t is hardly
necessary in this notice to repeat what is
a matter of record. We do say, however,
that 1t would appear to us very strange
indeed If the Montclair people, who have
been such liberal patrons of this company
in the last ten years and satisfied as to the
wholesomeness of the product delivered by
this company, would be willing to have
their source of supply arbitrarily, cut off
for the purpose Of indorsing a technical
regulation of the Montciatr board that real
ly has no practical bearing whatever on
the quality OF milk being dehvereq by US.
