The milk from the dairies about Melrose, Stoneham, Sau- gus and Reading, which comes to Melrose, is of excellent quality and considerably above the requirements of the law.
The milk which comes from the milk contractors (or rail- road milk, so called), does not stand much above the percentage required by the law, and many times it is below the standard. The public should take pains to assist the inspector of milk when there is trouble and the milk is run- ning bad.
The vinegar which is sold in the stores of Melrose is of good quality, only one sample of bad vinegar being found.
WILLIAM S. BRIRY, Inspector of Milk.
Melrose, Mass.
