( Special. ) Among other matters which will b3 presented at the coming scss'on of the legislature of this Etat3 Is one uf considerable Importance concerning the Inspection of meat and milk In which the larger cities of the state are taking considerable Intorest. The prepara tion of the bill has been left largely In the hands of City Veterinarian Johnon of this place , and the original draft cf the measure has been completed. The bill affects only nich cities as have a population of 5,000 or over. After providing for the repeal of the present , law , which calls merely for the In- spcton : of the milk sold throughout the state , It goes on to prohibit the sale either cf Impure or adulterated meat or milk and fixes as a penalty a fine of from $25 to $100 for any violation of the law. The manner of Inspection provided for Is much more thorough than that under the old law and calls for a periodical examination , not only of food offered for sale , but of dairies , sta bles , meat markets , warehouses nnd slaughter houses. The Slate Dairy commission Is re- qulrsd to appoint Inspectors In all towns having a population of 5,000 or over , to con- duet these Inspections , each Inspector to servo for n term of two years and to receive a salary of from $1SO to $1,500 , according to the size of the town. It Is proposed to place the sale of meat and milk under a email license In order to make the Inspection serv- 'ce at least partially sjlf-sustalnlug.
