The special committee appeinted by the City Council, to consider the milk question, met on Monday even- ing and discussed the matter for two hours, but came to no definite de- cision.' Another meeting will be held when it is hoped to have a recommen- dation fOr the Council: : A. deputation from the Kingston District Milk Producers'. Association waited on the committee, and pre- sented a resolution recently passed by this association regarding the matter. 'Mr. Joseph McGrath also addressed the committee on behalf of this association. White thes committee came to no definite decision, and passed no re- solution to go on to the Council, the question was discussed from all angles, and a great deal of valuable Irformation was secured, views ex- pressed, and it is expected that the meeting will be a great aid in help- ing the committee to come to a de- cision. During the discussion, {it was pointed out that a test of the milk supply made last summer by Dr. Miller, of Queen's University, would be most desirable, and it is likely that a report on this test will be re- ceived for the committee. All the members were agreed that there sbould be a rigid inspection of all the conditions governing the city's milk supply, from cow to ultimate con- sumer by a qualified man. The chairman, Ald. Price, presid- ed, and also present were Mayor An- grove, Alds. Reid, Laturney, Martin and Dr. W. W. Sands, ¢ity clerk. Ald. Laturney was called away from the weeting after it had heen in seéssion about half an hour. Ald" Holder, who was appointed on the committee, was not present. Resolutions Passed. 'When the meeting opened, the city clerk read the recommendation of the Board of 'Health, asking that all milk supplied the city be: secured from tuberculin-tested herds, and that pasteurization be made optional. The resolution passed by the Hol- stein Breeders' Association was also read. This association, as already noted in the Whig, placed itself on record as not being in favor of tub- erculin testing, but recommended the pasteurization of milk not coming from Accredited herds. Ninety Per Cent. Pastou The chairman. also read to the il mbmbers of the committee, letters } | recéived by Mayor Angrove from it | various cities from Vancouver to fi | Halifax, regarding the milk question, ji | pointing out how the milk was hand- led in these places. The chairman stated that probably ninety per cent. {| Of the places heard from, called for pasteurized milk. Ald. Laturney wanted to know if || the tuberculin testing of the "cows ii caused any injury to the cows, and || the chairman replied "No," and ad- ded that the test was a good thing {| for the farmers. Ald. Price gave it as his opinion i that about ninety per cent. of the cows supplying milk in Kingston ( were grade cows, The government would not pay for any loss from the test made on grade cows, and the re- sult would be that these cows would be used "to supply cheese factories. Ald. Laturney said he had been | handed a statement on a test made 2 | nineteen out fu the State of Illinois, showing that of twenty cows, had baen lost. The test had aggravated tuberculosis and this testing fad been prohibited. 7: Ald. Martin said that from articles he had been given to read, it was shown that there was a diversion of cpinfon among high authorities 'on fhe 4 question of pasteurization. While t w ; : plan. We have a milk inspector and 2 sanitary officer." . It was stated by another producer, that there were nine herds in the Kingston district which had been tuberculin-tested, and the milk could be secured by those who desired it. Ald Reid asked for information re- garding conditions in Brockville, and it was stated that the milk was only sold from tuberculin-tested cows. Favors Pasteurization. Mr. McGrath stated that he had great faith in pasteurization, and Pointed out that he had a long ex- perierice in a cheese facory. When trouble developed in bad flavor, it was hard to get at the root of the trouble until the whey was pasteuris: ed, then inside of two or three days tke trouble was over. Mayor Angrove stated that the Board of Health had spent $200 last year In having tests made of the milk at Queen's. Ald. Martin stated that he felt that the committee whether or not pasteurization was néeded before passing on it, He ask- ed that the committee be given the rosult of these tests made at the university, ' . Mayor Angrove questioned Ald. Martin about the test he had made of samples of milk the other day by Queen's professors, but Ald, Martin stated that Profs, Neish and Reid preferred ' mot to have this report made public. "Well, that leaves us in the dark," remarked the mayor, "and tends to make us suspicious of these tests." d In réply to Ald. Reid, Ald. Martin stated that the test at Queen's had been made for butter fat bacteria and dirt. 8 Ald. -Martin-said that so far as butter fat was concernefl, there was no need of fear from the tests. The bacteria was mot good for a winter test. : Mayor Angrove wanted to know if the test would go as far as Mr. Fair, who had stated from 60 to 80 per cent. of the cows were affected with tuberculosis, "They made no statement of that kind to me," replied Ald. Martin, "yet they found tubercular gérms." "In your-opinion are the conditions as bad as they have been represent- ed to us?" asked the mayor. "Some of the tests were not as bad as others," said Ald. Martin.

Martin suggested that the committee "carry on" till say the latter part of June, and that the milk Isspector be called upon to make a rigid inspection. In the first piace the city must have clean milk. Ald. Martin stated that he felt satisfied that pasteurization is the proper method, but he was not ready to say that it was needed in King- ston just at present. : : Mayor Angrove wanted to know if thé present conditions were as alarming as had beea alleged, and Aid. Martin thought there was cause for alarm. "4 Ald. Martin said that two tests made for butter fat were very low. Mayor Angrove stated that there had been reports about milk bottles having been used for coal oil. _ Ald. Price stated that he had once had to empty a whole vat of bottles, as one had contained coal oil. Very often a bbttié had been found to contain turpentine. "Do you think the pasteurization of the milk would be a panacea for all the ills?" asked the! mayor of Ald. Martin. ; "No* replied Ald. Martin. Mayor Angrove then asked Ald.
