Editor of the Banner:-Up to the
10th, inst, the local board of health
had completed the requirements, un-
der Act No. lis, Laws of 1908, ITO
provide for the inspection of milk, "
according to the Rules of the State
Board of Health governing the pro
duction and sale of milk and cream,
in the town of Bennington, as far as
applications had been made. These
are 90 in number, and licenses will
be ready for dilivery on April II,
1909, at the office of the secretary,
224 School street. Copies of the
several scores will, likewise, be given.
II took two solid weeks of labor to
accomplish this task,-the care and
time observed being essential TO ac-
cord equal justice to the producer and
consumer. 1t is apparent that the
mind of the Legislature in this inn
portant matter was to guarantee sani-
tary milk and cream to the people OF
Vermont. The nature of the applica-
ton, score card rules for the infor-
nation of both parties. and the
record history of the producer of GER
tifed milk and cream, was fully set
forth in a prior communication to the
Banner, and is not repeated here.
Among the acts OF the local board
was a resolution that a milk or cream
dealer could not peddle, deliver or
sell anything but certified milk or
cream, under the law and regulations.
whether of his own production or
augmented by purchase. And now
comes an opinion of the State Board.
based on the Attorney Generals in
structions to States attorneys in re
lation to this law. which broadens
out the requirements of Bennington
board of health. and is in conhrma-
ton of it's conclusions, that
at is not the number Of cows, but
the purpose for which they are kept
which requires the license"
In accordance with the avowed
policy of the local board and its sec
retary,-the health officer.-this mat
ter will be further kept open reason
able time to give those requiring a
license opportunity TO make the
proper application. Neither the local
board nor the health officer are the
prosecuting officers, under this Act
No. lis, Laws of 1908, but the Attor-
ney-General and the several States
attorneys.

md cream. The former supply of
hese easily infected articles of food
