WAR ON TRANSPORTATION
OF MILK Is DECLARED

The board of health last night
passed a resolution asking the state
board of health to secure the passage
through the Legislature of a bill COM
pelling the transportation companies
to carry milk in a sanitary manner.
The resolution recites that one of
the principal obstacles the local board
has to overcome to secure a pure sup
ply of milk is the carelessness and
negligence on the part of the trans
portation companies. A more sanitary
method of handling milk from the
time it leaves the dairy until it reaches
the milk depots in the city would go a
long way toward insuring pure milk
to the consumer, the board believes.
