MEAT MILK LAW HERE
NOW WORKING WELL
Details of Operation During First
Two Months Made Public
Today

Details of the operation of the
new Americus meat and milk IN
spection law covering a period Of
two months were made public today
by DR.. S. F. Stapleton, through Dr..
j. Wade Chambliss. DIR. Stapleton is
inspector in charge of the depart
ment, but works under direction Of
the health department, of which DR..
Chambliss is head.
During the two months d total of
240 hogs, 144 cows and A goats
were inspected and Of these s
hogs and one COW were condemned
as unfit for human consumption. In
addition parts of SO hogs were re-
jected. In practically every inspec-
tion made Dr. Stapleton was either
present when the animal was slahgh-
tered or had access to the entire
viscera before the carcass was fin
ally passed and permitted to be
sold.
At the beginning it was found
that a few farmers who brought
carcasses into .Americus neglected
to bring the entire viscera along for
inspection, but this condition was
speedily corrected, and in all cases
where the visceTa fails to accom-
pany the carcass now, the sale of
the meat is being held up until this
| is actually produced and examined.
In the milk inspection depart
ment the figures show that bacte-
rial count in some milk sold here
runs a little high, but this is believed
to be due to inability to cool the
milk quickly, thus preventing a rap
id Increase of bacteria and that this
holds no menace to health so long
as it remains within the present
maximum, DR.. Stapleton and DR..
Chamhliss are agreed. Officials Of
the department are working, how
ever, to reduce the bacteria content
!, of milk sold in Americus and in this
they are receiving hearty co-opera-
ton among all concerned. A few
samples Of milk anaIyzed show a
trace" of visible dirt, which condi-
tion was at once corrected.
Taken altogether, DR.. Chambliss
said today, the law is working out
very satisfactorily, with every place
of slaughter in or near Americus
improved in sanitation methods as
regards the period before the law
became effective.
Operation of the department cost
the city total Of $21 during the
two months period, the balance Of
the cost being covered by inspection
fees collected by DR.. Stapleton.
