timated cost OF maintaing pasteuriz-

capacity. The plant would cost &c.
900, and $1,000 for changing the town
building where it would be located.
The cost of operating and mainten-
ance, II was estimated, would be $3.50
a day. IL two cents a quart was
charged for pasteurizing there would
be a profit left for the town OF $3.50
day. The committee reported that il
did. not recommend municipal pasteu-
