One more conference will be held by the various city health authori- ties and when that session takes place 1t is expected that the local authorities of each of the communi- ties will have approved of the new system of coordination being laid down for the purpose of more closely supervising milk supplies distribut- cd in Connecticut.
 Duplication of Effort
 Yesterdays conference was held at the office of State Dairy and Food Commissioner F.. c. Woodward. It was decided that a division of duties between the cities and the state in the inspection of dairy farms and city milk plants in test ing milk should be carried out 50 aS to wipe out the present overlapping of work.
 At the present time Dr. Peter T. Kceley, local milk and food inspec- for, covers not only the local milk plants but also the dairy farms in the Waterbury milk shed serving the city. Under the new plan Dr Keeley would inspect only farms within the city limits and also the local dairy plants. The state in- spectors would cover the sources of local supply outside of the city limits.
 Furthermore. an interchange of data will be arranged for so that milk sent out from local milk plants to points outside the city can be readily checked on by the communi- ties in which the product is sold. For instance, many Watcrburians receive milk from local plants during the summer at their summer homes along the shore or in other locali- ties.
 Approval Expected
 The health board here and, like wise, health boards in the other cities, will have to approve of the plan to allow the various municipal laboratories to conduct an inter- change of information.
 Waterbury's milk supply now comes from a shed bounded by Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York. Much milk bottled in local plants go out to wide area, daily also. Under the new system duplication of efforts on the part of inspectors will be wiped out and laboratory work will be more uni- form.
