REPORT OF LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE. 



BY V. I. SPEAR, CHAIRMAN. 



Mr. Spear: — Your Committee would respectfully report the 

 result of their work upon the two subjects referred to them by 

 your body. The first subject was the inspection of cattle foods 

 brought into the state. We refer you to the law passed relat- 

 ing to this subject which gives all that was asked for in 

 that direction. The law provides for the inspection of all 

 concentrated cattle foods brought into the state. The pure 

 grains are not required to be inspected. The next subject con- 

 sidered by your Committee was in regard to some measure look- 

 ing towards the regulation of the operation of creameries. A 

 call was issued to creamery men and prominent dairymen to 

 meet vour Committee at Montpelier and give their views on 

 various propositions submitted to them. A good number at- 

 tended this meeting and after full discussion your Committee 

 introduced the bill providing for the inspection of creamery 

 apparatus and licensing operators of the Babcock test which 

 bill has become a law. Your Committee is in no way to be 

 credited with nor is it responsible for the law passed requiring 

 creameries to make a certain form of statement to their 

 patrons. 



Report adopted.
