TESTING OF HERDS
 BEGINS HERE SOON
State Appropriation PaVes Way
 for Milk Improvement

The state board of control voted yesterday at a special meeting in the state capitol. Hartford, to make an appropriation sufficient to defray the costs of conducting tuberculin tests in all herds from which this city's daily milk supply is produced. Sim liar appropriations were made for nu- merous other Connecticut cities and towns from which applications had been received and where work was held up by reason of an oyerdraft in this fund.
 Dr. Richard W. Pullen, superin- tendent of the health department. ap- peared before the board of control in the interests of the local situation. He explained that an ordinance is now operative in this city which requires that all milk. not produced by tuber- culin tested herds, be pasteurized.
 There are not enough pasteurizing plants here to take care of the sup ply and it is with difficulty that the city is now being supplied with Grade A milk, meeting the requirements of the ordinance. It was granted by the board of control that New Britain, by reason of the eXistance of this ordin- ance, faces the most serious problems and this city's needs should be the first taken care of. The work of test ing herds will be started within a few days, Dr. Pullen said this morning.
