COUNCIL MAY REQUIRE LICENSE FROM ALL MILK DEALERS IN THE CITY Regulation to Provide for Clean taining and Handling City's Milk Supply Considered ' at Regular Meeting Last Niyht. An ordinance providing for the li censing and insportlng of all dairies or wholesaling milk within the oily of Koseburg. Is being considered by the city council and will probably be adopted ut a future meeting. The j ordinance will doubtless provide for a local Inspector who will make fre Huent visits to tbo dairies, and will Fee that sanitary conditions nro maintained at all times, and that milk offered for sale within the city Is clean and free from disease or filth. This matter was brought to the at tention In a very forcible manner last night by L. S. Leoch, deputy dairy and food commissioner, who has been spending a few dnys in this ity obtaining Information regarding the conditions of the dairies in this locality. ilo presented the council tne re sult of his findings and the council was astonished to find such a con dition existing. Mr. Leech took 13 samples. Tests were made by means of a sediment teBter. This Is an In strument in which a quart of milk ts placed. A plunger is withdrawn cnuslng a vacuum as it is removed from the cylinder. In the base of this plunger Is a cotton disk and as I the plunger Is removed tho milk is! sucked through the cotton and nil , sediment s removed ami adheres firmly to tho cotton. In making these tests Mr. Leech stated that he took one gallon of, milk. After hllowlng all sediment to settle he skimmed off two quarts. The remaining two quarts were then tested by means of the sediment test er. . ,' Out of the thirteen samples only one was perfect. Three others show ed very little sediment and were bet tor than the average. '1 lie remain ing nine varied from' bad to worse, several of them bearing filth to n dis gusting degree. ' Mr. Leech stated that he Is uniible to make known the names of thoso operating the dairies from which the tests were made but said that the tests clearly bow the need for more snnllnry ami cleanly methods In obtaining ami handling the milk which is sold to the people of this city. "People have tne ngni 10 snow that the milk Ihev are using Is clean nnil free from disease." Mr. Leech said.

"There Is no use of applying K burdensome and strict set of rules to be followed out. Common sense should govern the operation of theso dairies. Kules which will apply to the large dairies operated In the country and where many head of cows are milked, do not apply to the small one or two cow dairies of tho city. "There are, however, certain pri mary rules of sanitation which should and must be observed If milk is to he kept clean and the city should see that such rules are put Into ef fect and are enforced. Cows should be kept clean and healthy. They should be washed thoroughly about the udder before being milked and every precaution should be tnken to prevent dust or dirt of any kind from getting Into the milk. The barn should be kept clotin at all times, and refuse of nil kinds should be kept at a considerable distance from the barn or else in a tightly covered box. "One of the most important, and at the snme time least ohsorved rules Is the cooling of the milk. All milk should be reduced to 60 degrees fnhrenhelt within ten minutes, after It Is taken from the cow and should not be allowed to become warmer than that at any time. Immediate cooling Is most Important and it will have a great effect in keeping milk In good condition. Several local dairies have ordered- milk coolers since having this fact explained to them." Mr. Leech discussed this subject In considerable detail and presented a sample ordinance drawn by Hairy and Food Commissioner Hawley. This ordinance was very lengthy and went Into much detail with a set of strict rules. Mr. Leech explained that this ordinance was merely suggestive and that any modifications might be mado by tbo council. He ndvlsed (hat a thorough Investigation be mntlo and that the recorder write to a number of cities whore mlik or dinances are now In effect and that hy such methods a more complete Idea of the desired scope of such reg ulation as proposed might be gain ed.
