Licensing milk vendors was the
chief topic of discussion at an ad-
journed meeting of the Board of
Health last night.
Deputy Inspector Brewster told of
his visit to the State Beard of Health.
He met Chief j. w. Mcclure, of the
state dairy department, from whom
considerable Information regarding
wholesale milk establishments in
North Jersey was received.
The state board rates COW stables
by percentages. A stable having a
percentage of go or more is consid-
cred in very good condition, while
one under 60 Is considered very
poor. Mr.. MCGUIRE advised the board
not to issue licenses to dealers who
receive their products from places
having percentage of less than so,
nor to the dealer him self If his place
had rating of less than that.
Secretary Brewster read the fol-
lowing reports from the state board !:
James Wychoff, COW stable at Clin-
ton, Y per cent; Seller Brothers
establishment, in Pennington, rs "
per cent; Amwell Valley Dairy Com
pany, at Three Bridges, TIN per
cent. Several local retailers receive
their milk and cream from the
above.
Regarding the adoption of Mr..
McGuire's recommendation, the
board said that a scoring system
could be put into effect In year or
so.
The secretary read communica-
tions from the State Board of Health
regarding recent inspections. The
latter promis ised that they would fur
nish the board with further informa-
ton as soon as possible.
Nearly all of the Wholesale places
are in a fit condition to sell to deal
ers. Only two wholesale places were
In poor shape, and one of these Is
now being altered. The other ad
forty-five cows with insufficient all
space.
Regarding retail depots and the
places of dealers who sell here, the
inspectors reported that they are In
good condition generally. The in.
| spector said that there are but two
places in the city not fit to be H.
censed. Neither of these dealers has
registered with the board. If they
do not do SO, the police will stor
them from vending milk or cream
next Monday. Deputy Brewster stat
ed that there might be a small deal
er or two in possession of one OF
two COWS who have not yet register
ed. A motion was passed that all
dealers who do not comply with the
boards rules shall be refused a
license.
| instruction as to the manner OF
licensing was given the deputy. He
has book of license blanks in readi-
ness that will be signed by the
boards president and countersigned
by Chief of Police Burke, whose CO.
operation has been secured. Author

Regarding the feeding of brewers
grain to cattle, Deputy Brewster re-
ported that the state board had in
| formed him that there was no OBJ
lection If 1t is not sour and is not
| fed exclusively. Mr.. Brewster told

brewers grain in this city. The
board said that they could not issue
such a license, but the man could
go ahead and sell.
