Barney Serves Notice That Hs
Will Refuse Many Licenses.
Des Moines.-Trouble with milk
dealers who seek a license under the
new law without first complying with
the provisions of the law requiring
strictly sanitary conditions in all
dairies is being experienced by w.
B. Barney, state dairy and food COM
missioner. g.
This feature of the new act is
overlooked by some dairymen.. AL
ready the commissioner has been
forced to hold up several applica'
lions for licenses because the dairy
Of the applicant, in the opinion OF
the commissioner, was not as clean
and sanitary as it should be.
after July 4, every unclean dairy
will be reflection upon this depart
ment and its judgment" said Com
missioner Barney. The law states
that licenses shall be issued only to
those who operate clean, sanitary
diaries. If a man holding license
does not have such dairy it Will
be evident that this department is
not enforcing the law.
"Of course, this department can
revoke any license after it has been
issued, for a good and just cause,
but l believe that no license at all
should be issued to anyone on bare
promise to clean up. l want to see
the clean dairy first, then will Is
sue the license"
The same law fixes heavy hne
for any person selling milk without
a license after July 4. so between
heavy fine and no license, the dairy
and food department officials expect
. general cleanup of the diaries
which have heretofore been run
without the strictest regard for
cleanliness.
