St, Paul.
A campaign against thin and in
sanitary milk in the smaller cities
of Minnesota is announced by James
Sorensen, state dairy and food com.
missioner.
Four state inspectors have begun
the campaign in six cities, and it will
be carried to every town in the state
if necessary to insure clean milk con-
tanning the butter fat content required
by law.
"The campaigns for good milk have
been confined largely to st. Paul, Min
neapolis and Duluth, where city in
spectors are employed, but recent in
vestigations indicate need for state
action in other towns" Commissioner
Sorensen said.
1.-THE percentage CT - insanitary
diaries is high in small towns and
the law against thin milk is almost
totally disregarded in many instances
The dairymen not only pay little at
tention to cleanliness, but take some.
of the cream from the milk before
selling it."
Inspectors have begun work in Man.
kato, Fairmont, Ada, Crookston, Brain
erd and East Grand Forks and other
towns are to be added to the list.
Statewide Milk inspection.
Mayor L. A. Fritsche and City At
torney Albert Pfaender of New Ulm
probably will be forced to stand inves-
tigation on charges of disloyalty fol-
lowing adoption of resolutions in the
State Public Safety commission, asking
the city council of New Ulm not to
accept their recent designations from
office. The charges followed participa-
ton of the officials in the alleged draft
protest meeting at New Ulm and re-
suited in their suspensions and that of
County Auditor Louis Vogel of Brown
county by Governor Burnquist pending
Investigations before County Attorney
James Hall of Marshall. Mayor Frits-
che and City Attorney Pfaender filed
their respective designations with the
city clerk at New Ulm and it was re-
ported then that such action would
enable them to escape the proposed
inquiry The resolution passed by the
commission, however, was said to put
different aspect on the matter.
