LOSS OF MILK BOTTLES
INJURIES DA|RYMEN

On Friday last Thomas Jones. (col-
ored), was arrested and brought be-
fore Judge Welch on the charge of
having milk bottles in his possession,
with the name of the owner printed
on them.
The charge was brought by George
Davidson, dairy farmer near An
napolis, to whom the bottles had been
offered for sale. On investigating he
found the man had bottles belonging
to nearly every dairyman in Annapo-
lis, the largest amount being a load
tied up in bags about to be shipped
out of town, belonging to the Snesil
Dairy
At the trial Jones' defense was that
he had picked up all these bottles on
the dump where waste from the city
is thrown, and on this plea the case
was dismissed.
The loss of bottles is an important
factor in the price of milk, at the
trial Mr.. Davidson testified that his
dairy loss every year amounted to $500
for milk bottles< either not returned
or stolen. The question arises, can
the housewives be guilty of throwing
valuable milk bottles into the recep-
tacles for garbage in such large num-
bers-or do the men who collect gar
bage collect milk bottles from the
door steps and alleys at the, same
time, with a view to selling then I'd
parties outside of the city as to be
used as mislettered bottles?
In either case the practice should
be stopped.
