TAVERN SURVEY
 HERE PLEASING
Restaurants Also Average High Mark-NO Trench
 Mouth Revealed

Regular inspections in Waterbury by investigators for the state dairy and food commission, now nearing completion, have shown that sani- tary conditions in local restaurants and taverns average a generally high mark, and that milk distribu- ton here, from producer to distribu- tor to consumer, is carried on ex- cellently and that the product It. self is of @ high. quality.
 No traces were found here, as far as could be learned, of minor epi- denies of trench mouth, resulting principally from unclean glasses in public eating and drinking estab- lishments, though traces of the dis- ease were reported to have been found in Bridgeport and New Ha- ven. Preparation and serving of food and beverages here was found in most places to more than meet the standard sanitary requirements.
 State Inspectors
 State inspectors have now been in Waterbury for more than two weeks, and in that time they have visited practically every tavern and restau- rant in the city. In addition, they have taken samples of many brands of milk distributed here, and have had 1t analysed at the state labora- tories in Hartford.
 Though no official reports have been forthcoming, the inspections here resulted in generally high ratings, 1t was reported today. Some violations and faults were found, but 1t was said that 1t was neces- sary only to issue warnings to have the condition complained against remedied.
 Investigators for the dairy and food commission make examinations in each city and town in the state periodically. Also. free lance in- vestigators are at work all the time in various towns and cities, 50 that dealers coming under their jurisdic- ton never known for a certainty when an inspector will be in to visit them again.
