milk offered the people Of the city.
He maintained that the health board
should not require diarymen to in
stall expensive apparatus in their
plants if they have found a system
by years Of experience hat will
deliver milk which will meet the
requirements.
DIR Silk was firm in his stand that
milk bottles cannot be capped by
hand and still have the milk uncon-
taminated. The bacteria count will
be too high by this method, the
president said, and added that a
cooling device must be installed.
Feutchbaum said he cools his milk
in the p~asteurizer, thus bringing j,
10 the required temperature. but
this method was not approved by the
health commissioners who insisted
1t must be cooled in the bottle and
not in bulk. The temperature of the
milk rises again when it is bottled
even though it is at the required
temperature when in bulk, DR.. Silk
said.
Mr.. Medinets urged that the board
test Feutchbaum's milk at once But
Commissioner Dilts spoke for the
whole board in informing the Wood
bridge man that the test would be
made after the Gaping and cooling
apparatus is working and not before
A charge was than made BY
Feutchbaum's attorney that The
health board is driving milkmen out
of the city by forcing them to puf-
chase expensive machinery, thus
making it impossible for then 10
compete with the larger plants.
1T is a well known fact" DR.. S1Ik
said, that n cannot produce good
milk on a small scale
Following a short conference with
F~eutchbaum, Mr.. Medinets inform
ed the board that a cooling outnt
would be installed and the Gaping
machine repaired. Assurances were
then given to the Woodbridge man
that the board would test his milk
and IL found to be up to the board S
standards, will be admitted TO the
city. -,
As a concluding remark to this
discussion, Commissioner Goldberger
remarked: Mr. Medinets, l would
like to see you bring as many milk
dealers nto the city as will COM
ply with our regulations and then
possibly we can get cheaper milk
here"
