if FL Paso wants to take over some
thing that is worth something to the
people, the city should take over the
distribution of milk. Buy the output

crossing over each others routes and
give the producer and consumer the
benefit of the saving
That would let loose many drive

not force the city TO buy all the

not doing now.

any one knows that no small dairy

And if Mr.. Hamilton would rather
