P. Osgood STATE DAIRY INSPECTOR DR. D. HUNTER McALPIN VILLA ROCKWOOD SEAL HARBOR, MAINE August 7, 1928. Mr. A. H. Lynam, Bar Harbor, Maine. My dear Mr. Lynam: I had hoped to have a talk with you before you left this morn- ing in regard to a question which is of great importance, namely: the milk supply. For a number of years I have been on the Sanitary committee of the Village Improveme nt Society. Without suitable rules and laws enacted by the Town and State authorities it will be difficult for an individual committee to enforce proper sanitary laws upon the milk men. A number of people have spoken to me about the safety of our supply and 1 would desire, before taking any action, to obtain from you the health rules and regulations issued by the State and Town authorities on this subject. can you furnish me, without too much trouble, 1. The rules governing the supply of milk issued by the State board of Health. 2. The rules and regulations issued by the Town of Bar Harbor. 3. The rules and regulations issued by the Town of Mt. Desert. Would the State College, located at Orano, Maine, be in a position to supply me with this information? Are there any rules and regulations governing the inspection of herds supplying milk to the public such as: 1. Inspection of the stables? 2. Inspection of the cattle for protection against tuberculosis, etc., etc.? Can you give me any information as to whether the Town of Bar Harbor lists the source of milk, such as requiring a licence in order to allow milk to be peddled and sold throughout the town? I have been asked to make an investigation and report and it will be necessary for me to have the answers to the above questions before I can talk intelligently on the subject. Hoping that I may have this information at an early date, I am Very sincerely, ArthrAlpin
