15, No. 25 PRINCE GEORGE CITIZEN.. THURSDAY. JUNE 29. 1933 Five Cent* Creamefy j Seattle Capital of Commences Work Raw Milk on Hixon Creek Contends This is Covered by thc Agreement Entered Into by the City Council SUGGESTION REJECTED Rigid Inspection Will be Made of Dairy Premises but MiH; Tests not Covered the dispute -between the Interior Creamery and the city over milk in-cpectiorpwas ventilated at the council meetmg on Monday evening. When th(pnegot?atioris were on for the establishment of the creamery the city undertook to see that no raw mil!: rnould be offered for sale within the city limits other than that from grade A -premises. To implement this undertaking the- city arranged with the provincial authorities for an inspection c; all dairy premises from which milk was supplied. A number of them were found to be. entitled to Grade A certificates, and-Ptlhers later made the necessary changes to entitle them to the certificate. It developed later that all the dairy premises were not inspected, and that within the city there were a "number of instances in which the odd dairy cow was being kept in which inspection was not made for ithii icason the owners stated they were not selling milk. These statements there is now7 reason to believe were not in accord with the fact. Th net result was that despite the \prccautions taken by the city there remained reasons for believing raw milk continued'to be sold from ungraded premises, and the city will make airangements for a further inspection., ThiSx. inspection is to be undertaken within, the next few days by Dr. Knight. It has now developed, however, that Alfred Miller, of the Centrol Interior Creamery, is of the opinion the npdertaking of the city with respect to the sale of raw milk goes further than this.. and involves the testing of the milk offered for sale from time to time in addition to de:ermlh:ng that tihe milk corrses from Grade A premises, To enforce his contention Mr. Miller has decided to withhold the payment of his water and ligh! charges until thc c'ty agrees to make tests of the milk. In connection with thc operation cf the. creamery Mr. Miller has to meet a monthly charge of $15 per month for water. At Monday night's meeting the members of the council were unanimous in their agreement that Mr. Miller is mistaken in hi-s contention that the city agreed to undertake any. test-;ns;/of milk offered for sale.- It'was conceded the testing of the milk might be even more Important than any in->fK^/cn of dairy premises, bu/ 'he pit>vis^w?th'6ut the necessary equjp-/ment for making the test-;, and th" r"st of securing the same is regarded as more than the city can urfdertak'e at the piesent time. With respect to. his action in witholding paymont--"t>f his "\ver and light charges J.u-w.is decided-to notify Mr. Miller "ho" will -be treated as any other consumer ,of water and light hi arrears, in thnK-0 percent will be'added to his chariW> bu< -'in the interim the city will do all in its power to make the inspection of ;£yl ftairy premises as complete as possible . Some time ago the provincial police 'vcre requested to prepare a complete '•'• of all dairy prenVses-in the city =!nri district which .supply milk to the creamery or offer the same for sale m the city, and to have the -nine available for -Dr. Knight by the end °f the month. There appears to be a distinction made in tho standard °* Premises from which milk i.s sup-P'W, and those from which cream is fJPP«e«J for butter-making, the grad-miu, ntr more strict in the case of [[^-supplying dairies than in the -r° of those supplying cream. tniu W m'llc £ales are restricted to p'1K. coming from premises given J^acie a. but milk from Grade B lami.sex is permitted to be offered for frcm Iey bein° Pasteurized.

As the C.C.F. is equally opposed to the Tolmie and liberal parties there is more hope for a working alliance with the Bowser-Donaghy following than with cither Tolmie Unionists or the Liberals, the prcbabalities are said to favor the election t.f v. numljjr ol C.C.F. candidates. The non-party division of Bow.ser-Donaghy has but -.j'x candidates in the ¦field; but Mr. Bowser makes the statement nominations will be made in all of the constituencies during the ensuing-month. The most outstading of -the non-party nominations i.s that of Dr. G. A. B. Hall, who is to contest Nana'mo-Alberni with George S. Pearson, the .sitting Liberal for Nanaimo. Dr. Hall i.s no novice as a campaigner, having "had experience? in municipal and provincial politics in Nelson as well as.in Nanaimo. He is Mr. / Bowser's second-.lieutenRiit in the present- campaign, and will have a stiff fight on his hands with Mr. Pearson. So far the Tolmie Unionists have by,! iwr, candidate.-: ent-cvecl for the contest. .Premier Tolmie will run in his present riding cf Saanich, but i.s faced' with fqwrfdable eppositiprf. At-torney-Gener'al R. H. Pooley has been nominated in Esqiiiinalt and his election'is conceded.. The other ministerial candidates will probably include I Hon. Joshua Hinchliffe in Victoria. | He is by no means' as strong as when I he. first offered in Victoria, and may 1 probably have difficulty in making !. the grade. Hon. J. W. Jones will run in South Okanagan. He is a proven fighter but will carry a heavy handle cap in the financial leg'-slat^on which ¦ tihe necessities of the situation hav-i j forced durng the past two years. Hon. I R. W. Bruhn, minister of public works Ms expected to be a candidate in [ Salmon Aim. and Hon. w. A. McKen-I zie will run again in Similkameen. but they have not been definitely placed. The probabilities favor Mr. Bruhn c.-.i nuing his support of Premier Tolnu • and Mr. McKenzie iim-ning a-i an ¦Tndepedent. in view of \x's open ruptuVe with the government on its policy .of remitting charges in irrigation districts.
