PASTEURISED MILK
Sir-We have every sympathy with the Department of Health, which has been working under very great difficulties in attempting to secure a good, clean, safe, milk. supply for the people, but we are not satisfied with Dr. Turbott’s reply to our letter, which appeared in your issue of July 7. Obviously a Royal Commission is not appointed for no purpose. The evidence presented to the Commission showed that the condition of the milk supplied to the four main cities varied, and that Dunedin’s milk supply was particularly bad. We have no reason to believe that the — position has improved in any way, therefore, we are of the opinion that it is a mistake to lull the public into a fdlse sense of security until the present unsatisfactory conditions have been rectified-there is quite enough muddleheadedness and apathy about the matter already. Dr. Turbott states that any information about particular districts should be sought through the Medical Officer of Health. Does Dr, Turbott not know that Dunedin is suffering under the added ‘disadvantage that it has had no Medical
Officer of Health for the past nine months. The work is carried out by the Medical Officer of Health of an adjacent district, who visits a few days in each month.- Branch Committee, Food Value League (Dunedin).
