HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT =.

Notice is hereby given that the
Board of Milk Control will hold
a public hearing in the Hall Of the
House of representatives on the
goth day of July, 1893 at p. M.
daylight time for the purpose of
hearing any and all persons who
may be interested in the following
matters of business: The Board
proposes to Rule:
That whereas the persons who
are selling an average of less than
daily at less than market prices ap-
pear to be the most demoralizing
factor In certain of the markets
of this State; and
Whereas under Section Of
Chapter 226 of the Public Acts of
1893, the Board has power to fix
and establish, from time to time a
minimum price for the different
markets of the state for each class
of milk.
Now, therefore, the Board here
by sets the minimum retail price
for bottled milk, delivered at the
consumers premises within the
State at 12c in quart bottles and at
&c so delivered in pint Bottles, Tin
most markets the minimum Is SCI
with the schedule of prices at one
cent less for milk delivered to the
consumers to carry away from the
dealers premises in either quantity
or in the consumers receptacle.
And the Board announces that If
1t finds that these prices are not
maintained and that the markets
are further demoralized by the per-
sons selling less than 10 quarts of
milk per day, the Board proposes
to reduce the minimum heretofore
set as license base, from 10
quarts or over daily, to cover every
sale whether of one quart or more.
The Board rules that the price
schedules are established for the
products delivered or services rem
dered regardless of the party who
furnishes or performs them,
whether producer, producer-dealer,
milk dealer, creamery, store, res
taurant or other business or
agency.
The Board proposes further to
reconsider the schedules heretofore
set up and established which reads
'all special grades of milk, except
certified milk, shall meet grade
A standards and shall be sold under
this class" This was later modi-
fed, since the Board cannot set
standards, to read "all special
grades of milk except certified milk
shall be sold at Grade A prices"
1t suggests that this schedule shall
be modified to read as follows:
Special grades of milk, labelled
or otherwise represented to the
consumer as being superior to mar
ket milk, Commonly spoken of as
grade 3 milk shall be sold at
prices not less than 1c per quart
higher than the market milk price
schedule.
The Board has found that there
use. The dealers using them must
conform to truth in advertising and
must obtain adequately higher
prices to cover the cost of produce
ing q superior grade Of milk.
The Board desires information
on which to base a ruling concern
ing the use of paper bottles as
store bottles.
The Board rules that:
The following practices are not
rebates or discounts forbidden UNI
der the law:
Cd Supplying calendars.
advertising specialties of vari-
Gus sorts of small value and
limited use, provided the num-
Der, value or quantity of such
articles delivered to any Gus
toner do not amount in fact to
a price reduction on purchases.
The Board reserves authority
to rule on specific cases as they
may be presented to 1t.
(2) Furnishing one free
sample of milk or cream to q
