The ways nud moans to safeguard the Colony's milk supplies and to enforco stricter conditions than at present exist in some of the local dairies were fully discussed at the fortnightly meeting of the Sanitary Board yesterday, when amendments and additions to the present Dairy By-Laws were proposed by the Medical Officer of Health (Dr. G.

Dr. Pope then moved his first amendment: "No person shall use a dairy for any other purpose with out the permission of the Board."
The motion was seconded by Mr. C. Champkin and carried unani- mously.
In moving the second by-law which had already been referred to by Mr. Sayer, Dr. Popo said that ho wished to point out that he had deliberately left out the word "notified" before the word con- tagious becauɛo ho wished to use a wider term in this case.

The importance of safeguarding the Colony's milk-supply cannot be over-estimated, particularly when so many dangerous diseases are cap able of transmission through the medium of milk.
Of these, communicable diseases, I may mention a few which concern us most in this Colony, viz., cholera, typhoid, diphtheris, cerebro-spinal moningitis, dysentery and tuber
culosis.
It is common knowledge that any of those milk-borne diseases are capable of giving rise to epidemics. Fortunately such dangers can be met or materially mitigated if the milk is boiled or pasteurized before being consumed. But unfortunate ly, this is not always done and wilk is still consumed, wholly or partly
uncooked.
Mr. Suyer said if the Board were to adopt the suggestions made by on proprietors of dairies. He could that the motion as it stood would be entirely valueless, because, as be saw it, the by-law would neces- sitate that the M.O.H, and his assistants should visit dairies and see that there are no carriers.

In fact, under ordinary conditions, it cannot be drawn without a certain amount of unavoidable bacterial contamine- tion, though usually of a harmless
naturo.
For these reasons, one can under stand the necessity and wisdom of motion now before the Board.
I endorse the motion unreserved- ly, including the first and second
part.
Hidden Paxil,

In short, I wish to emphasize the importance of eliminating disease. ourriers, who are employed in tho production and handling of milk.
I should like to point out that a carrier, although apparently in good health, is far more dangerous than an actual sufferer, because his infective condition is not unrecog nized.
Mr. Sayer then moved the follow- ing proposals standing to his name:
that the Board approves the introduction of the following by-laws by way of addition to the oxisting by-laws or the existing by-laws BS amended by the proposal of which the Medical Officer of Bealth has given notice:-..
1. The registered proprietor of a dairy shall, upon applying for registration or re-registration, in- form the Board of, the sources of his milk supply; and in the event of any source of supply being changed at any time, shall forth- with inform the Board of the change.
The registered proprietor shall not have in his dairy any ilk derived otherwise than from adairy registered under these by laws except with the written per mission of the Board."
