THE INFECTED MILK ORDINANCE.
The following are the objects and reasons attached to the Infected Milk Ordinance, read a first time at the meeting of the Legislative Council on Monday afternoon :-
It was found necessary in England to confer power on the Medical Officer of Health to inspect dairies, and, in case he should be of opinion that infections disease was caused by the consumption of milk supplied from any such dairy, he was required to report his opinion to the local authority. Thereupon, the local authority was to call upon the dairyman to show cause why an order should not be made by snch anthority requiring him not to supply any milk from such dairy till the order should be withdrawn. These powers were conferred, in England, by section 4 of The Infectious Dis- eases (Prevention) Act, 1890.
The present Ordinance, suggested by the Medical Officer of Health, proceeds upon similar lines, having regard to local circumstances.

Section 5, which is based upon the Dairies, J. M. E. de Carvallo and F. W. White also Cowsheds, and Milkshops Orders of the Privy competed. Alves, and Lapsley made a mest Council and Local Government Board in Eng-exciting race of it. Alves getting home by a land, provides a penalty in the case of a dairy- | man allowing any infected person to milk the animals, assist in the conduct of the dairy, or to reside in such part of the dairy as may be used for the housing of cattle or storage of milk,
It is hoped that the fact of such an Ordinance being brought into force in this colony will enable the Medical Officer of Health to exercise more effective supervision over the milk sup- plies of the colony and cause dairymen to use greater vigilance to prevent the possibility of contamination of the milk sold by them.
