MAY BE INSPECTED.

State Food and Drug Inspector John
Owens has returned to Richmond and
besides inspecting those dairieS he
missed on his first visit here, he is in
specting those which he visited just a
few weeks ago. Twelve dairies were
visited yesterday. OF this NUMBER
two were found to be in good enough
condition to warrant receiving the
merit certificates. Two of the twelve
dairies were inspected for the first
time OF the remaining ten dairies,
six were found to have improved their
rating. Three had made no improve
ments and one received a rating low
er than the one given at the first in
spection.
This morning Mr.. Owens inspected
three dairies. Neither of them had
ever been inspected by him before.
One was graded good plus, one good
and the other fair. The dairies which
at noon today were entitled to certi-
ficates of merit, are the two operated
by J. L. Bachelor, one operated by
E. l. Commons and one operated by
Henry Tapey. The latter's dairy was
inspected this morning. Albert Steen s
dairy was one of those inspected this
morning. 1t was graded good and with
few minor improvements will be en-
titled to a certificate. The dairy OF
Tom Lyon was also one of those in
spected this morning. 1t received q
grade of fair. The following is a list
of dairies Mr.. Owens inspected yester
day and the grades given them:

j. H. Nolte's dairy was graded dow
from fair to poor because Of the cor
dition of his milk room which i
much worse than when Mr.. Owens in
spected it June 26.
The certificates given to Batchelol
Commons and Tapez will be dis
played in their delivery wagons. Thes
cards guarantee the consumers tha
the milk sold by the dairies is pure
Before Mr. Owens leaves Richmon
it is probable that he will draft
milk inspection ordinance similar t
the ones he drew up in Terre Haut
and Connersville. If he does so it wi
be submitted to council.
Bakeries Next.
1t is probable that State Food an
Drug Inspector John Owens will il
spect local bakeries, confectionery e
tablishments, groceries and othe
places where food stuffs are expose
for sale. He has not yet positivel
stated whether he will make such a
: inspection. When in the city recent
Mr.. Owens outlined how such estal
, lishments should care for and displa
/ food stuffs, but he made no investig
ton.
