PURE MILK
ACTION BY BOROUGH COUNCIL COMPULSORY TESTING OF HERDS (Per United Press Association) NAPIER, August 11. A by-law ensuring pure milk in the Napier Borough has been passed by the Borough Council and takes effect on October 1.. It provides for the compulsory testing of all supplying herds for tuberculosis. To date 60 per cent, of the herds in the Napier district have been tested voluntarily, but, under the new by-law, all vendors will be required to have their herds tested, and the tuberculin-infested cows destroyed. At last evening’s meeting of the council the suggestion that the bvlaw be held over for six months in order to enable the owners to secure more adequate compensation for condemned cows was rejected.
