TWO MILK DEALERS GIVEN REPRIMANDS Cautioned by Mayor That Future Violation of Law Means Heavy Fines.

Two milkmen, one of them a retailer and .the other a jobber who also makes ice cream, were hailed before the mayor this morning to answer alleged violations of the state law requiring purity of milk and milk products. Both were let off with a reprimand, as their guilt was not fully established. The retail milkman who was arrested and hailed before the mayor, was charged with selling milk containing 20 per cent water. He stated he had purchased his milk of another man, who sells milk to the retailers, and as there was doubt as to who placed th water in the milk, and the retailer had never been in trouble before, he was released. The wholesale dealer, whose ice cream was tested by dairy inspector Flook and showed less than the required amount of butter fat, stated he had purchased the milk from a Hamilton, O., company, and that as he had ordered milk with 20 per cent cream, he did not test It before using, trusting to the honesty of the company to live up to the contract. The milk contained about thirteen per cent of butter fat. The same wholesaler at Hamilton has been guilty of this same practice before, Flook stated, and prosecution of this company for violation of the Btate reguations may be taken up by the local dealer who alleges he was defrauded. , The mayor stated he would certainly fine and fine heavily all dealers in food commodities brought before him for violations of the pure food laws. Dairy Inspector Flook has received a complete list of the per centages of the ten retail milk men and of the four whoelsale dealers- and Ice cream merchants. The average percentage of butter fat in the samples taken from the wagon of the milkmen is above the requirements of the law, which is 3.25 per cent. The milk per centages were from 3.4 to 4.4 and the Ice cream tested showed per centages of butter fat from 8.8 to 13.
