MUNICIPAL MILK SUPPLY.
On October 28th the Council considered a resolution of the Labour Party,
viz.:—"That this Edmonton Trades Council and Labour Party calls upon
the Edmonton Urban District Council to make provision for the supply of milk
at reduced price, or free (if circumstances prove necessity) for the use of children,
invalids, and nursing mothers, as provided for in the various Milk Orders of
1918-19." Also a letter to the same effect from the Maternity and Child
Welfare Committee, and stating that the Committee unanimously agreed to
assist the Council, if required, to carry out the particulars of the Milk Order
No. 89, 1918. Also a letter from the Ministry of Health, of the 14th October,
with reference to the supply of milk for necessitous mothers and young children.
