SIR: I have the honor to invite your attention to the fact that the commis- 

 sion in charge of this building has decided that no milk shall be sold in the 

 buildings under this office unless it is equal to the sanitary standard and com- 

 plies with the classification established by the Bureau of Animal Industry,

In order to comply with these instructions, watchmen will be ordered to per- 

 mit the delivery of milk only by persons having a permit from this office. 

 These orders will be enforced on January 1, 1911, and thereafter. Arrangement 

 has been made with the Department of Agriculture to examine and classify 

 samples of milk proposed to be furnished, and to make from time to time neces- 

 sary analysis of milk actually delivered. 



You are requested to notify the employees of your department of these facts, 

 and to inform them that dealers desiring to supply milk should communicate 

 with Mr. Ernest Kelly, Dairy Division, Bureau of Animal Industry, Department 

 of Agriculture, with reference to the examination of samples of milk to be
