the north side requires pasteurized milk; Cicero on the 

 west side does not. The only down state cities in Illinois 

 which have a milk ordinance requiring pasteurization of 

 milk at all are Savanna, Decatur, Pontiac, El Paso and 

 Staunton. Such cities as Peoria, East St. Louis, Joliet, 

 Rockford, Galesburg and practically all the rest do not 

 require a safe milk supply. 



This constitutes one of the greatest public health 

 causes in our State at the present time. We may ex- 

 pect morbidity and mortality rates in cities not safe- 

 guarding their milk supply to exceed those which do. 

 Milk borne epidemics will be in proportion to the proper 

 pasteurization of the milk supply of a community.
