MILK SURVEY OF THE CITY OF ROCHESTER 



In Table No. 91 is a list of twelve cities in the U. S. and Canada 

 which have milk regulations not positively requiring pasteurization, but 

 recognizing and denning it. This tabulaton shows the populaton, the 

 total quantity of milk and the total quantity of milk pasteurized. From 

 this it will be seen that in these twelve cities there was 602,000 quarts of 

 milk sold daily, 420,373 of which was pasteurized, amounting to 70%. If 

 we compare with the above conditions, conditions in the City of Roch- 

 ester, we must note that out of a total milk supply in August for 

 Rochester of 77,579 quarts there were 44,160 quarts pasteurized, which 

 is a little less than 57% of the total supply. 



TABLE NO 91 



CITIES WHERE PASTEURIZATION IS NOT REQUIRED BUT IS 

 RECOGNIZED AND DEFINED BY REGULATION 



The evidence which is available regarding the value of the pasteuriza- 

 tion of milk is now so abundant that it would be impossible in a survey 

 of this kind to more than hint at the character or value of this evidence. 

 Almost without exception every prominent health officer and sanitary 

 scientist in the world is now on record in favor of pasteurization of public 

 milk supplies, and the practice has become established not only by the in- 

 dustry for economic reasons, but under the auspices of municipal health 

 departments for public health reasons.
