BOTTLED MILK.
To the Editor. v Dear Sir,—l was interested in the letter signed “Parent” referring to the late City Council refusing a subsidy to the laboratory which a few of the dairymen maintained for a time, but found it expensive for a few to keep going. Some of the dairymen are keen to give_ the public a good test and clean milk supply, but with some dairymen running round with cheap milk some housewives as long as it is cheap don’t think about the conditions it is produced under, or the quality of the milk. Only those with the proper equipment for washing and sterilising their bottles should be allowed to sell bottled milk. I may say only about one dairyman in twelve has got the plant for washing the bottles. I have seen a milkman take a bottle from one house and fill it up without washing it for the next customer. It’s a hard thing for the health authority to trap them. That is why only those with the proper plant should be licensed to sell bottled milk.—l am, etc., SQUARE DEAL.
