nance to be Enforced. "
Officials of the city and state put. in
to definite form this morning a co
operative plan for tne enforcement of'
Portland's new pure milk ordinance.
Between tha impatience of Mayor Simon
for real work and th practical prep
aration made by Health Officer Wheeler
tha system of regulating the: mlllc aup-
pl y .-.w h leh-has- been-4 -nebulous -f orm
many months was resolved into its ele
ments in a few momenta One of tha
many gratifying features of ths meet
ing, held In the city hall, was tha pub-
llo announcement of Dairy Commis
sioner J. w. Bailey that he will Issue
certificates of dairy inspection and will
vest Inspectors of tha city with author
ity: as deputy; dairy commissioners 'to
make inspections. . ;
Milk supply regulation will oonalat,
according to the results of this morn
ing's meeting.. In the city's doing the
major part of the work, its representa
tives being clothed with necessary au
thority ' for work outalds the 'corporate
limits by the dairy commissioner and
tha state board of health..
Bailey Off art laboratory for Tests.
In giving assurance that. he la ready
to do his .duty in enforcing tha state
law, Commissioner,. Bailey, said that the
laboratory In his office is well equipped
with milk testing apparatus and whlob
tha city might have tha free use of. In
a flash Ttti Wheeler stated that he bad
already given employment-to cr. v.
Smith, a competent chemist, and that
with "the commissioner's permission he
would have the tests made. In the com
misslonefs office until the city has pro
vided Itself with a laboratory. Bailey
responded that the offtc. waa open for
such use and that r. JSmlth may come
and go as he pleases.
This means that samples of milk will
be taken from the various vendors who
come within., the city, these to be sub
jected to chemical test for purity, qual
ity and number of bacteria contained.
Thla will provide a method of enforce
ment for the provision of the new ordi
nance that milk containing more than
ZOO.OOO bacteria to the cubic centimeter
shall not be sold In the city.
Blank Toms Beady.
; Dr." Wheeler had prepared a blank for
the applicant for licenses to fill out at
the city hall, a blank which he sug
gested for the use of the state board
of health tn. making report" of tubercu
lin teats, and another for the dairy com
missioner, to be used, .in reporting the
sanitary condition, of dairies inspected.
These blanks, being terse and compre
hensive, met with .favor, and will be
used hereafter.
Dr.. Robert C.

tary of the state health board, stated
that the original plan of the health
board was to supervise the making of
