Milk Proposal Referred Back To Health Board
The city council committees sent the milk ordinance vetoed by Mayor Henry Ahrens back to the board of health on Tuesday night at the board’s request. The measure would restrict sales of pasteurized milk to within the city and limit farm inspections to 30 miles, a plan the mayor called discriminatory and a potential trade barrier. Health officials warned cost and inspection scope concerns, while a possible return to council after changes was noted. The session also covered widening Losey boulevard and a sanitary fill garbage disposal demonstration by Drott Manufacturing Corp representatives.
