PASTEURISED MILK.
Mr. X. R. Chapman, secretary to the Milk Council, states, in answer to a correspondent, that the council is not restricting the sale of raw milk and that it is possible where necessary to "arrange" two deliveries per day. Possibly this is correct at the present time, •but if the council obtains the power it seeks during the present session of Parliament it will bo in a position to do as it likes. It is seeking power to buy out small men's rounds to consolidate the big vendors' rounds —to include places and areas that have no wish to be included and seek .to pool all milk for delivery on the block system. This will mean that, willy-nilly, whether or not one wants pasteurised milk one will have no option. It will all be pooled and all pasteurised, and its consumption more and more restricted instead of extended. If one demands for, say, a sick baby, fresh milk, one will, I suppose, have to produce a doctor's certificate. CONSUMER NO. 2. "There is no intention whatever on the part of the Milk Council to insist on all milk being pasteurised," said Mr. Chapman. The public, he added, would still be able to purchase either raw or pasteurised milk, provided the raw milk was sold under proper conditions.
