prk of most valuable kind, deal
 hs it does with the health of
 body in the community. As con- && a ble time was given to reading < disCu ussion of the various reports
 s decided to postpone the routine &1ess to an adjourned meeting. @ e reports in detail follow: # Milk, Meat and Food. She Superintendent of Health:- &hereby submit my first annual re- & as milk, meat and food inspector &he year ending March 31st, 1916, @g the twelfth annual report of \ branch of the department: #uring the eleven months that I A been in office the work of milk, #t and food inspection has been 8 the aid of the department, sys- &atized to an extent so that the lShods of handling and caring of N in various dairies have been fol- Ed up regularly. By the assistance #he two sanitary inspectors, every & store has been regularly inspect Every two weeks, and many much $led improvements in the sanitary zditions of the stores have been 81ght about.
 The laboratory's relieving me of the Slal milk analysis during the past months has given me on an aver o$ one hour a day to devote to out work. The 671 samples of milk Tor period of ten months only. l feet tC turn in about 100 samples month during the ensuing year. Ehe work of milk and food inspec- h is very largely one of educating |se needing it to those methods best ked for the cleanly production and |e of food. Some people are tenn Iamentally unfitted to handle food sale, and it is no easy task to just when the limits of instruction h encouragement are reached be- -e attempting to stop the one from ltinuing in business.
 Anticipation of being relieved of all re inspections, and with the weight the past eleven months inspections q 1e-inspections, I expect that in a ar from now the condition of many fries and sources of food supplies + be greatly improved.
