Mr, Waterhouse stated it had been suggested that a sepa-

that is, that the recommendation of the Milk Commissioners 
to place the milk control under the Board of Agriculture and 
Forestry, be incorporated by law in the statutes of the Ter- 
ritory.

regard to milk investigations until a later meeting of the
