MILK BOTTLES
FOUND SHORT
Local Dealers Caught, Like
Others Blame the Makers.

Commissioner of Accounts Eos
dick reported to Mayor Gaynor this
week that an examination he had
made Of milk bottles in use in this
city and the amount of milk and
cream put in them showed that the
public isn't getting its moneys
worth.
He found that out of 2,597 bottles
examined. 1874 were short beyond
the very liberal allowance made by
the law passed in 1910. There were
however, 80 bottles in the lot which
held more milk than required. VIC
Iations were filed against ten bottle
manufacturers, though the re-
jected bottles were nearly all made
by the LockpOrt Glass Company. the
Empire Bottle and Supply Company
and the Atlantic Bottle Company.
The commissioner found that or
1873 bottles examined at the depots
of the Borden Company, "a were
short. OF $50 bottles of the Shelf
field Farms Company, 40 didn't mold
full measure. OF 81 tested at the
establishment Of Alexander Camp
bell, 10 were short, while at the
place OF Henry Hass, West New
Brighton. 9 out of II bottles were
short, and of the bottles belonging
20 e. T. Tillinghast, Of Prince Bay
81 out of 81 were short.
Fosdick says the milk dealers
blamed the bottle makers. and he
presents a form OF agreement be
tween the dealers and the manufac-
turers placing all responsibility or
the latter for short measures.
