NEW YORK MILK COMMITTEE 145 



DR. WILE: I may say, Mr. Chairman, that this resolution has 

 been submitted to Dr. VanSlyke and meets with his approval. 

 (The motion was carried and the resolution was adopted.) 

 DR. WILE : The next resolution is as follows : 



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

 milk which does not come from tuberculin tested cows kept un- 

 der conditions which satisfy the highest medical and sanitary 

 standards, should be pasteurized." 



THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone move the adoption of this reso- 

 lution ? 



A VOICE: Mr. Chairman, I do not see any necessity for that 

 resolution. We have just passed a resolution, a few minutes ago, 

 adopting a classification which thoroughly takes care of it. You 

 have the certified milk, the inspected milk and the pasteurized milk, 

 and so I move to lay it on the table. 



THE CHAIRMAN: This goes further than the other. 



A VOICE: But the other covers it satisfactorily. 



(The motion to lay it on the table was seconded.) 



THE CHAIRMAN : It has been moved and seconded that it be laid 

 on the table. The motion that it be laid on the table is not de- 

 batable. 



(The motion was carried and the resolution was laid on the 

 table.) 



DR. WILE: Mr. Chairman, the next is rather a long resolution: 



"WHEREAS, Dairy products are among the most valuable 

 assets of the world, billions of capital being invested in them 

 in the United States alone, and 



WHEREAS, Milk, cream, butter and cheese are the most gen- 

 erally employed articles of food and have been proved by in- 

 disputable evidence to be readily contaminated by disease pro- 

 ducing germs, thus greatly impairing the public health and 

 increasing the general mortality rate, and 



WHEREAS, The dissemination of disease by dirty products 

 has been pointed out by numerous writers the world over and 

 has in this country been especially demonstrated in Circulars 

 114, 118 and 153 of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the U. 

 S. Department of Agriculture and Bulletins 41 and 56, 

 Bureau of Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, and 



WHEREAS, These facts have been confirmed by numerous au- 

 thorities here and in Europe and have been recognized within
