REPORT OF SECRETARY.

Milk Legislation. 

 Not less than thirteen bills relating to milk were introduced 

 into the Legislature by various agencies. The only legislation 

 placed on the statutes, however, was an act requiring producers 

 and dealers to secure from local boards of health a permit to 

 sell or deliver milk, and further requiring local boards of health 

 to notify other boards of health and the State Board of Health 

 of cases where a permit granted has been revoked. The power 

 to enforce the latter provision was vested in the State Board of 

 Health.
