ORANGES PLAN. UNIFORM
MILK SUPPLY INSPECTION.

Representatives of the boards of
health in East Orange, Orange. West
Orange and South Orange met last
night in the office of the Orange Board
of Health and discussed the advis-
ability Of a uniform system of milk in
s%pection. No definite action was taken,
but it is probable such a scheme will
be ~inaugurated.
1t Is contended by the boards of the
-four municipalities that the present
system of inspecting milk Is very diff
fcult and often results in duplication.
There are q great number of dairies
which supply milk to the municipal
tiles inspected yearly and 1t is believed
that II each of the cities and towns
appropriated a certain sum each year
one man would be able to conduct the
inspections unaided.

that he would consult with the town
authorities and learn something of
their intentions regarding the new
