On complaint one sample of milk has been taken and
subjected to bacteriological examination "The sample was
unusually free from dirt" and outside contamination, but it

could not be satisfactorily cleared up.
One sample of milk was taken as an informal sample
by the Sanitary Inspector, and submitted through the
County Inspector to the Publie Analyst tor analysis. He
reported the sample "not adulterated."
