Boston Implements Original Package Milk Regulation
Boston moves to a new milk sell by bottle system under Health Board rule prohibiting sale of unbottled milk or cream. Storekeepers must supply milk in approved bottles or receptacles, ending customers bringing their own containers. Exceptions exist for consumption in restaurants or hotels and for earlier summer rules on bottling in large cans. The change aims to overhaul retail milk sales across the city with a few dealers granted brief preparatory extra time.
