Registration of Milk
Dealers in Maine

For great many years the issu-
ing OF licenses to milk dealers in
this State has been simply a system
Of registration. Since there are
about 5000 Of these dealers located in
81 different towns and cities it was
obviously impossible for the State
dairy inspector to visit the premises
OF many Of them before issuing the
yearly license. AS result, numer-
GUS dealers were unknowingly per-
mitted to sell a product produced or
handled under very unsatisfactory
conditions. In order to improve this
situation. Brooks Brown, State dairy
inspector. has called the attention of
municipal officers of cities and towns
containing not less than 5000 in
habitants to the fact that the law re-
quires them to appoin. annually
local inspectors OF milk and all other
dairy products. Such appointments
have. in the past. been made very in
frequently. but, due to the action Of
