LICENSES FOR SALE OF MILK. 



Chapter 744. 

 An Act relative to the production and sale of milk. 

 Be it enacted, etc., as folloivs: 



Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any producer of milk or dealer in 

 milk to sell or deliver for sale in any city or town in the commonwealth any 

 milk produced or dealt in by him without first obtaining from the board of 

 health of such city or town a permit authorizing such sale or delivery. 

 Said boards of health are hereby authorized to issue such permits after 

 an inspection, satisfactory to them, of the place in which and of the cir- 

 cumstances under which such milk is produced, has been made by them or 

 by their authorized agent. Any permit so granted may contain such 

 reasonable conditions as said board may think suitable for protecting the 

 public health and may be revoked for failure to comply with any of such 

 conditions. No charge shall be made to the producer for the permit or for 

 the inspection of the dairy where the milk is produced. 



Section 2. In case any permit so granted is revoked, the board re- 

 voking the permit shall immediately send notice of the revocation to the 

 state board of health, and the state board of health shall at once inform the 

 boards of health of other cities and towns in the commonwealth where, in its 

 judgment, milk produced by the dairy to which the permit relates would be 

 likely to be sold or delivered for sale, and the state board of health shall 

 also give notice of such revocation to any dealer in milk who, in the judg- 

 ment of the board, would be likely to purchase milk from such dairy; and 

 upon receipt of such notice it shall be unlawful for any dealer so notified to 

 sell or offer for sale in this commonwealth milk from the said dairy. 



Section 3. After a permit has been revoked, it may be renewed in the 

 same way in which the original permit was issued, in which case the same 

 form of notification shall follow as is required in the issuance of the original 

 permit. 



Section 4. Any person, firm or corporation violating any provision of 

 this act shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars 

 for each offence. 



Section 5. It shall be the duty of the state board of health to enforce 

 the provisions of section two of this act. 



Section 6. It shall be the duty of the inspectors of milk appointed by 

 the boards of health of cities and towns to enforce the provisions of section 

 one, so far as relates to the milk supply of their respective cities and towns.
