Milk Ordinance Agreed Upon.-At a
conference of 20 milk producers and
retailers with the city commission,
an ordinance was agreed upon which
is apparently satisfactory to both the
milk producers and to the city. It
provides that it shall be unlawful for
any person TO sell milk or cream in
the city without a license, and that
a license shall not be issued until an
inspection has been made of the dairy
farms, and a report made that the
COWS are fed upon clean and whole
some food, that the stables, milk
houses and equipment are clean and
sanitary. This was the provision con-
tanned in the ordinance passed by the
city commission March II, and no
change was made in this particular.
The only essential difference between
the ordinance now in effect and the
one proposed by the milk producers
is concerning the method Of inspec-
ton. The ordinance TO which the pro-
ducers objected, provided that the in
spection should be made by the city
health inspector. They suggested in
their ordinance that a licensed veter-
marian appointed by the city and a
! milk producer named by them, be
the persons selected to make the in
spection. 1t was finally agreed, how.
ever, that the inspection of diaries
should be made by the city physician.
