Logan in closing the debate refer F,
red to the great Importance the cities
on the mainland were giving to the
milk question. With regard to the
objections against these ordinances, he
recalled the fact that similar outcries,
alleging hardship and discrimination,
were made against the plumbing and
automobile ordinances, yet both of
these were proving acceptable to the
community and fruitful of public bene-
fits. The milk ordinances were only
intended to regulate those who needed
regulation. Under the Board of
Health regulations it was not until
the fines against certain persistent Of
tenders had been twce raised that they
ceased watering their milk and 1t
was due to even the imperfect regula-
tions enforced by the Board of Health
that Honolulus milk supply III gen
eral had improved 100 per cent.
j. ]. Dias appeared as champion
of the small dairymen. When ques-
toned as to where the hardships IN
the ordinances existed he said they re-
quired the small dairymen to build ex-
| pensive milk houses. 1t being point
ed out to him that there was no obli-
CATION to build any houses, but only
regulation OF sanitary conditions in
houses that might be built or owned
| by the dairymen, he said that the
questioner knew what the objections
were from Attorney Watsons speech
before the committee. Pressed to in
dictate a single requirement that
would be a hardship, he mentioned
the provision for white apron on the
mixer.
The ordinances then passed by iOen-
teal votes as follows:
Ayes-Ania, Aylett, Logan, Quinn
