NEW YORK MILK COMMITTEE 87 



MR. CAMPBELL: I am not prepared for it. I would like to have 

 time to think carefully over this matter. 



Now,, we have had certified milk before the community here for 

 the last five or six years. The doctors are supposed to be trying 

 to educate the people, but I believe that you will use your life 

 up before you have much effect on the people. When you go be- 

 fore the people with milk the first question they ask you is: "What 

 is the price?" 



THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other remarks? If not, are 

 you ready for the question? 



(The motion was not carried and the resolution was rejected.) 



THE CHAIRMAN: Is it the wish of the Committee that these 

 should be separated at all, one from another? 



DR. WILE: No, just as it was presented. 



THE CHAIRMAN: Dr. Wile has other resolutions to propose. 



DR. WILE: In regard to the remark made by Mr. Campbell as 

 to the hour being late, we should remember that the result of a 

 conference is usually to confer and go out and forget it, and then 

 the conference is ended. Now, in order to crystallize the senti- 

 ment, either for or against certain things, and that we may deter- 

 mine the consensus of opinion of this conference, these resolutions 

 are offered. As interpreted by resolutions, it stands merely for 

 the concensus of opinion of this particular group, and no more. 

 Consequently, I do not know just how far the state legislatures 

 will be moved by what may be enacted here to-night. But if this 

 group conferring on milk questions comes out positively and unani- 

 mously in favor of certain definite things through the adoption of 

 resolutions they may, at least, be the basis of securing more ef- 

 fective legislation along various lines. 



The second resolution is as follows: 



"WHEREAS, There is a great duplication of effort in the 

 work of country milk inspection resulting in a multiplicity of 

 inspections by State Boards of Health, State Boards of Agri- 

 culture and Inspectors sent out by municipalities, be it 



"Resolved, That it is the sense of this conference that the 

 work of country milk inspection be carried on by states and 

 not by municipalities, and that municipalities adopt minimum 

 standards and refuse to accept milk which falls below these 

 standards, and be it further
