PROTECTING THE MILK SUPPLY

The attitude shown by the
dairymen supplying milk to An
napolis and vicinity. At Their meet
ing at the Court House last week.
is a most favorable sign Tor the
passage of an ordinance along the
general lines OF the measure now
pending before the City Council.
In approaching the matter in the
present way, the dairymen are
doing themselves credit and are
furnishing an irrefutablc argu-
ment in favor of municipal regu-
lation. If the dairymen them
selves rise above purely selfish IN
terests and contribute their tull
measure of support toward pro-
tected milk supply. there IS hard
~ much patience to be shown
with those who, for one reason or
another, attempt to block the
present movement.
The surest cure for misunder-
standing is 10 have thorough and
open discussion of such a matter
OF deep public interest. 1t was
in this spirit and with this sug-
gestion that the Rotary Club OF
Annapolis submitted the propos-
ed ordinance to the City Council.
and it is in precisely that spirit
that the dairymen are proceeding
10 base their recommendations to
the municipal authorities on the
pending measure.
The Evening Capital last De
cember had printed a hundred
copies of the ordinance and they
have all been distributed. The
County Agricultural Agent. the
Public Health Nurse and other
experts have all given the meas
ure close study and their endorse
ment. A committee from the
dairymen is now analyzing It's
provisions. so that when the mea-
sure comes before the City Coun-
Gil for final action, they will be
able 10 give il in the light of opin-
ions and suggestions that will be
most helpful.
That this City, as we'll as every
other enlightened community. is
in need of municipal regulation
OF its milk supply is hardly open
TO argument. That the spirit and
main purpose of the pending ordi-
nance are to meet this very need
is also Self-evident. Whether its
terms and provisions are either
inadequate or inequitable IS now
open to question and full discus
sion by the public The City
Council will undoubtedly afford
every opportunity for those hay
ing suggestions to offer or any
views TO express TO submit them.
and have them carefully conSid-
ered,-all TO the end that the main
purpose of a pure milk supply
shall be subServed.
The community. therefore.
awaits with much interest the re-
suits of the intensive study which
the committee of dairymen is now
giving the measure, for on their
cooperation in the matter will de
pend in large measure its success.
They have already shown this
spirit TO a gratifying degree, and
when the finished ordinance goes
into effect, it will be bit of civic
enterprise OF which all may feel
justly proud
