 Steps toward the establishment of
 compulsory tuherculin tested herds in this city for the entire milk supply
 were discussed at a public hearing last night in the city court room with board of health officials and milk producers present. None of the big milk producers of the city opposed Ithe ordinance, which the board of health desires incorporated within the city regulations in order that the milk
 supply may be protected. The pro- posed ordinance provides that no milk
 shall be sold unless it comes from a tuberculin tested herd or is pasteuriz- ed.
 Councilman Frank s. Merrill pre-
 sided at tho gathering which showed q large percentage of the milk men of
 this vicinity present. The only op-
 posing voices 10 the ordinance who
 aired their views were Timothy Col lins, milk producer of Pennington avenue; Thomas A. Tracy, local news paperman and Dr. Benjamin R. Rob- bins. who conducts a livery business. ] All of the men opposed the tubercu- 1 lin test ordinance on the ground that 1 the prices might be raised exorbitant- 1 ly. Despite the opposing views the sen timent of the meeting seemed in fla vor of the new ordinance. Among the big milk producers of the city who spoke in favor of the employment of | the test was selectman Leigh D. | Minor, one Of the owners of Fairview | Farm. His farm was the second in the city 10 begin the tuberculin test, | having started the plan three years ago. The test was first applied at the Green Meadow farm, owned by Charles T., Morton C., and Townsend | q. Treadway of this city.
 No decisive action was taken in re- gard to the operation of the ordinance but report will be made by the board of health to the council at the next meeting, when the ordinance will come up for action on the part of the city board,
