DIR. Nathan R. Gorter advocated stronger
pure food laws and said 1.-The present food
laws of Maryland are little different in their
general purposes from the national laws. Their
main defects are that they are not sufficiently
definite, and that the appropriation for their
execution has never been increased since their
original passage. The effect of the failure OF
the Legislature to amend the present laws and
to increase the appropriation for their execu-
ton has been to make Mary land the dumping
ground for the inferior and unwholesome
stuff"
The reports of the special committees were
discussed Representatives were present from
25 different associations in the county.
