The Borden milk company and
United Milk Producers of Califor-
mia today were denied 1941 milk
distributing licenses in Alameda

to a agreement which would de-
press the price paid producers be-
low the minimum provided by law.
The division of marketing en-
forcement of the state department
of agriculture, in denying the IL
censes, asserted Borden had con-
tracted to distribute United's milk
on an agency" basis which would
circumvent the minimum price re-
quirement.

CROSS TOLL FREE
Governor Makes New Rul-
ing Regarding State
Bridges

Following protracted negotia-
lions by Governor Herbert r.
O'Conor and the State Roads Com
mission with the representatives of
the holders of State Bridge bonds,
the Governor has completed ar
rangements whereby conveys of
the United States Army will be
allowed to cross bridges in Mary
land without payment of tolls.
In initiating the movement to
allow free passage by the troops,
Governor O'Conor announced that
he was impelled by the belief that
every facility of the State should
be placed at the command of those
in charge of National Defense prep
arations" and that, therefore, the
State could we'll afford to make
every concession possible in the
interest Of our armed forces.
The Governor went on to empha-
size that inasmuch as the troops
included in the conveys are being
trained for the protection of our
State and of our Democratic insti-
tutions, it is entirely fitting that no
obstacle be placed in the way of
their proper training.
If such permission had not been
granted, Governor O'Conor was in
formed, it would have been neces-
sary to route such conveys through
Washington, which would cause
great deal of difficulty and increase
tremendously the present conges-
ton on the roads.
