MANSFIELD DOCTOR FINED
IN TUBERcULAR CASE

DIR. f. r. Dimock, of Mansfield pleaded
guilty to the examination of cows owned
by Charles Sternberg of Manchester,
using a tuberculin test without making
proper reports to the commissioner OF
domestic animals as required by law. He
was presented in the Manchester police
court Saturday and on the advice OF
Prosecuting Attorney Hathaway fine OF
$25 and costs was imposed.
In securing a plea of guilty and later
a statement on the witness stand from
the doctor the domestic animal commits
sioner is now in position to take such
steps as will assure the guarding CT the
public welfare by placing quarantine
upon the herd owned by Mr.. Sternberg
and prevent the further sale Of the milk.
which has amounted to about 500
quarts day. Tie case is considered
! one of sufficient importance by the
commissioner of domestic animals to ask
| from the board of control special APP
preparation.
The disposal of the case at the ses-
sion of the town cor-t of Manchester
will have far reaching effect upon all
milk dealers in Manchester There are
but few dealers who produce their owr
, milk. each securing his supply from diff
ferent farms and selling it in town.. Tp
sell milk in Manchester a license is nee
essary. but it developed that in the cas-
of Mr.. Sternberg, he had never taken out
a license which left the local board OF
health unable to act and the assistance
had to come frcm the state. DIR. D. c. Y
Moore. president of the Manchester board
of health, first heard of the condition ir
a round about way. He had been in
| formed that two calves taken from TIL
farm were butchere.f in Hartford anC
found to be so badly affected with tuber
culosis that they had to be buried.
