Martin Makes Sonic Points Which Ik'en Misunderstood. Plain j Have ! Whereas there has been much misunderstanding relative to the recent milk ordinance passed by i the Board of Commissioners of the town of Albemarle, I wish to make this brief explanation. In the first place, as I under stand this ordinance, it will not apply to the sale of butter or butter-milk, and I am reliably in formed that ordinances similar to this in other towns do not apply in such tow ns to the sales of butter or butter-milk. This is largely due to the fact that butter or butter-milk is less likelyf to be jinwholesome n ac count of its nob bemg-srsurtanie media for bacteria to grow In and other reasons. Several have been under thejterest cf law enforcement,, and impression that this ordinance : Dr. Hanks will speak on "Uncb requires those keeping cows and Sam's World Adventure." , who sell milk to have cement I He is celebrated as a chautau- rioors in their stables, but there; is nothing in the milk ordinance requiring this, as can be seen from reading the ordinance There is a fee of $1.00 charged for each cow, and 50 cents a mile for each mile distance located from the city squarer and tins is the only charge. There are some who are un - rier the impression that it the cows have bc:n tested tor tuber culosis it will not be required to get the permit, but under the or dinance thev will be reouired to net the permit. The object of requiring this permit is not only sons to sell or offer for sale, within the town of Albemarle, j r.iilk taken from any cow less1 ln,,p o ,l 1 1 i'i f i n fl'hm jj.ny cow which is known to be -suffering from tuberculin is, j splenic fever, anthrax or any I ge neral or local disease which is ! liable to render the milk from i said cow unwholesome. 1 his ordinance simply means this: That those persons sell ing sweet milk must pay $1.00 a vear each to have their cows ex- amincd, except as to regular f.ai.- vl;,,j irics, which is fully explained .
