Show APPARATUS IS If NEEDED BY II TEE CITY : :l City Physician "Walter Whalen and ) Sanitary Inspector George Shorten ;jj have been working on plans that will 1 1 materially aid the -sanitary depart- : ment In its work During the testing 1 of milk the office of the sanitary In- iy spector was used as a laboratory and rt the inspector and assistants have ', , found that their work was hindered , b by the inconvenience. The city phy- ' j slclan and inspector plan to have the ; (1 small room now occupied as the con- ' ; stable's office as a laboratory where the physical milk tests can be made. : J This room, though small, can be made : ; into a laboratory' for the sanitary de- j ; '. partmonL ' ; j Dr. Whalen is urging the purchase I i of apparatus for bacteriological work. 1 i At the present time milk can only bo w j tested in Ogden for the percentage of 1 butterfats and cleanliness. The sani- fl R tary department, without apparatus, j I has no means for determining the ; L bacteria in tho mill sold in the city. ! f( "If we secure this apparatus, cost- Ing in all about $30, we would soon ; k have the milk sold in Ogden equal or ; superior to that sold my any other ; I cities," said the j.hyslcian. "In the ' l summer much of the Intestinal trou- t ble of children Is caused by milk that has an excess of diseaso bacteria iO ' f the cubic centimetor, By being able l to Tioint out the retailer of poor milk ? K we could Improve conditions greatl." .ti |
