QUESTION 12. Is it practicable, in your judgment, to maintain a temperature 

 not exceeding 50 F. on delivery wagons f 



ANSWERS. 



Yes; with the possible exception of a few extremely warm summer days. 

 (Chief Bureau of Animal Industry.) 



I have not investigated this question. (Surgeon General U. S. Army.) 



Certainly. (Surgeon General U. S. Navy.) 



Yes. (Surgeon General Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service.) 



Yes, if the outside cans are protected from exposure to the air by boards or 

 canvas and a little ice is kept on the cans. (Dr. William H. Park, New York, 

 N. Y.) 



It is, with the use of cracked ice. (Dr. Henry L. Coit, Newark, N. J.) 



Yes; only a matter of icing. (Dr. R. G. Freeman, New York, N. Y.) 



Possible, but not practicable. (Dr. M. P. Ravenel, Madison, Wis.) 



Yes. (Health officer Ann Arbor, Mich.) 



Several of our dairymen in Atlanta have been doing this of their own accord 

 during the summer. (Health officer Atlanta, Ga.)

 milk at this time. (Health officer Birmingham, Ala.)

 responsibility. (Health officer Kansas City, Mo.)
