Forest City Milk
Dealers Boost Price

Portland. July l0-The price OF
milk advanced yesterday in some of
the stores of this city, two cents per
quart, retailing at IL and Is cents.
II is understood that this advance
will be general in almost ali instances
on July Is. This increase comes at
a time of year when milk usually is
at its cheapest. when cows are graz
ing in the pastures and the upkeep of
the animals is the lowest
1t has been learned that this ad-
vance by the local retail dealers is
due to a similar advance by the
wholesalers and dairymen, who claim
it necessary on account of the in
crease In transportation and operat-
ing expenses. In the country dis
trictsy milk can still be bought di-
rectly from the farms at 10 cents per
quart. Many automobile owners
have learned this fact. and secure the
greater part OF their milk. butter and
eggs direct from the farmer.

The specia, committee appointed
by the National Council on Work
mems Compensation having in di-
rect charge the new rates to be pro-
mulgated for Maine consisting Of
Professor A ". Whitney. Manager
National workmen's Compensation
Bureau and Edmond S. Cogswell,
General Manager OF the National AS
ISOLATION of Mutual Casualty Com
panies, will hold a conference with
Insurance Commissioner G. Walden
Smith in Portland. this afternoon,
for the purpose OF determining what
il any, changes are to be made.
No portion OF the work in the in
surance department at the present
time is Of so large a moment as the
matter OF fixing new rates to meet
the increased benefits under the
workmen's Compensation Insurance
Act as enacted by the last legislature.
During the past two months Com
missioner Smith has been gathering
data from every insurance company
doing business in Maine writing this
especial form OF insurance. The
questions that he has submitted 10
these companies Will clearly demon
strate not only the premium income
received but every avenue OF dis
bursement or liability sustained and
will enable Commissioner Smith to
intelligentiy meet the question before
fully approving of any changes.
The work involved is of an in
tricate nature calling for a vast
amount Of statistical and mathe-
NAUTICAL service. and while it is gen.
orally known that Commissioner
Smith is strongly aversed to any in
crease of rates as was demonstrated
one year ago when he absolutely
refused to approve of any increase,
this Is a condition and not theory
that must be met at this time based
upon absolute facts as obtained by
the department.
