City Council Of the City Of Ocala, Fla:
Gentlemen-I have the honor Of sub
hitting for your consideration my
quarterly report as city meat and milk
inspector.
LIST Diaries and Dairy Products
All the dairies are in a reasonably
sanitary condition. The milk furnish
ed the people Of the city is up to
standard as required by ordinance.
Vehicles used for transportation Of
same such as bottles, cans and wag-
ons are kept within requirements.
End. Meat Market and Meat and
Fish, have had some trouble both
with meat and fish. Have during the
quarter condemned one quarter Of
beef Az hogs three half-barrels fish.
besides quite a quantity Of both meat
and fish in small quantities. Have
had one person arrested and fined for
selling a hog that was unfit for food.
The hot season being almost ended
do not anticipate trouble in the flu
ture. There are several persons sell
| ing meat about the city. They all. as
far as / know. have their meat in
spected.
Mr. Warner and Mr. Whitworth have
had new floors placed in their milking
barns There are about 225 cows fur
nishing milk to the city. All appear
healthy except two which l had taken
out Of the herd. They were not sus-
| piciOus cases but proved to be only
| temporarily ill. There are a few sug-
gestions which 1 wish to submit for
| your consideration.
| Ist The standard Of milk should be
raised from three per cent to three
and a quarter which is the national
government standard.
| End. 1 believe that passing milk
| through the separator and extracting
portion of the cream and then SELL
ing it for whole milk should be pro-
hibited.
] 3rd. On the matter Of license. l be-
lieve that IS for every five head up to
| 25 head should be stipulated in the
| ordinance. AS it now stands 1t penal
ICES for all COWS kept between 10 and
