The milk ordinance was read and
several milk men present spoke on the
question.

raise the price of milk, provided the
test were made from December to
April, the only time when the cattle
were in proper condition for the test.
G. Fl. Holmes was opposed to the
measure as far as the tuberculin test
was concerned. He claimed IL would
cause unnecessary expense. He men
toned a case on trial in Milwaukee, in
which the competency of the test was
questioned. He recommended that
the tuberculin clause be omitted.
