Board Acts FavorabIy To-
wards Allowing 0ut-of-
Town Milk Dealers in

The Board of Health last night
acted favorably upon the applica-
ton of one dairyman to bring milk
into this city and authorized the
Issuance of license to another ap-
phcant by the health officer if an
inspection of his milk and dairy
warrants such action.
These steps apparently were
taken by the board in an effort to
bring more milk into the city with
the hopes that reduction in the
price of milk will follow. The gen.
eral sentiment seemed to be 1.-The
more the merrier," providing the
dealers live up to the standards set
by the health board.
Commissioner Edward H. Dilts,
speaking on the subject of milk
prices, said the health board is held
price of milk. This" the commits
sioner said, sis not the case. The
local milk dealers can be blamed,
but not the health board. Since
July the dealers have been paying
nine and one-half cents a quart
from the wholesaler here and have
been selling it at prices ranging
from twelve to seventeen cents per
quart. Is the health board causing
thlS?"
The health board has been re-
sponsible for the high milk prices
because of the regulations enforced
r. sssin order to insure pure milk,
NE Dilts said, but the fact that the
wholesalers can sell milk at nine
and one-half cents quart would
health board are to blame for the
high prices.
The application of Soloman Cham
ilanski, of 633 Pacific avenue, to
bring milk into the city from the
Pennington Creamery and sell it
here was granted. Commissioner
Dilts said he had inspected the
FlemlnGton plant about two weeks
ago aud found the place in excellent
condition.
Soloman Feuchtbaum, of Wood
bridge, was before the board and
reported that his dairy had been
equipped with a cooler and that the
bottle Gaping apparatus was work
ing. He asked that an inspection
be made so that he might also de-
liver milk in Perth Amboy. The
health officer was authorized to have
an inspection made of Feuchtbaum' $
place and the milk offered by him
anu IL Tie ICpOIlS WSIS ldNOId DlS
to issue a license to him.
The Perth Amboy Milk Company,
at the last meeting of the board, was
given two weeks in which to i'm
prove conditions at its local depot
and also the grade of it's milk. Re-
ports from inspectors Thomas Will
helm and John Wodder showed the
plant to be in good condition
Owing to the fact that the health
board is without a technician, hav-
ing discharged Irving Salten at their
last meeting, no test was made of
the milk of the Perth Amboy Milk
Company and consequently it was
not known whether or not its STAN
dard had been improved Steps were
taken by the board to have sar,-
pies of this and other dealers milk
tested between now and the next
meeting.
The board also took action to-
wards permitting milk from the
Clark Clinton dairy to enter the
city again. This milk was rejected
by the board about two months ago,
reports showing it not to be up to
the city's standards. A survey of
the Clinton dairy made by the Edel
laboratories of Newark, report of
which was submitted to the health
board at their last meeting, told of
conditions existing at the Clinton
dairy and gave the milk test results.
Health Officer Charles S Thomp-
son was directed to communicate
with Mr.. Clark and inform him that
when a more favorable report is
made to the local board of an in
spection made by a recognized labo-
ratory and it is found he has COM
piled with the recommendations of
the Edel Laboratories. the commits
sioners will act favorably upon ad-
mitting milk into Perth Amboy
from his Clinton dairy.
A report of an inspection at the
plant of Reder Brothers was read
showing the pasteurizing plant to
be in good condition, bottles clean,
no sediment being found in them.
