GENERAL

RECONSTITUTED MILK TO BE PASTEURISED

Debate At Meeting Of Urban Council

There was some considerable discussion, at the meeting of the Urban Council yesterday when the chairman, Mr. R. R. Todd, moved the adoption of the by-laws relating to Re-Constituted Milk and Re- | Constituted Cream.

One of these by-laws provided that "no person shall sell, offer or expose for sale or manufacture for sale or for use in the manu- facture of any other article of food for sale any reconstituted milk or reconstituted cream other than pasteurised reconstituted milk or pas- teurised reconstituted cream."

..

Dr. R. A. de Castro Basto moved an amendment that this parti~· rular by-law be deleted and the discussion which followed was based on the fact that pasteurisation was desirable. The chairman's motion was carried. Dr. Basto being the only dissentient. There was no sec- onder for the amendment.
