SANITARY CONDITIONS OF DEALERS' MILK PLANTS IN 

 CITY OF ROCHESTER 



Four city milk inspectors were employed in the work of making 

 sanitary inspections of the milk factories in the City of Rochester. They 

 used a standard form of report blank, on which were noted the conditions 

 of plants and their equipment, the methods used in the performance of 

 all operations, milk handling, the temperatures of pasteurization and of 

 cooling milk, and the efficiency of the processes of washing and steril- 

 izing. In addition to this, other minor features of the conduct of the 

 business were noted. One hundred and thirty-two milk delivery stations 

 in the city were inspected in this manner, out of a total number of 136. 

 Detailed reports of these inspections were delivered to the office of the 

 Survey and by the statisticians summarized in the form of a tabulation 

 as indicated in Table No. 88.
