In statement issued yesterday
relative to the order issued by the

to improving conditions. IF the board
of health had closed every dry that
did not comply with sanitary regula

paign for better milk there would not
be drop of milk sold In Richmond
today. Instead Of driving the dalres
out Of business the health department
lent its aid and cooperation and to-
day the Richmond standard for
dalries Is recognized everywhere
ut is possible that the Maternity
home suffered at times from a heating
apparatus that was not all that could
be desired. but the proprietors APP
peared TO be doing everything to inn
prove conditions. They appeared to
be willing and in earnest about carry
ing out recommendations OF the neatrn

have been ideal. but they were per
fectlv sanitary, from health view
