Certain regulations of the state food and dulry commissioner must be com piled with In Oregon City by the milk dealers before a license can be ob tained from the city.

The ordinance be came effective April 1 and every dairyman must secure a license to sell mllft In Oregon City, whether his dairy is located within the limits of cltv or not. M. S. Shrock, a deputy from the office of the state food and dairy com missioner. Is partially responsible for the new regulations which will gov ern the milk supply In Oregon Clly. Mr. Shrock made a rigid examination of the local dairies and gave them a rating, and several of them made a verv poor showing.
