The price of milk in the City of Quincy has remained the same as 1926 with the exception of during the shortage, caused by the floods in New Hampshire and Vermont.
The chain stores have charged for cash and carry, 12 cents per quart and they distributed over 4,000 quarts in Quincy and 400 quarts of cream. The charge for certified milk is 30 cents.
All ice cream manufacturing plants and milk pasteurization plants are obliged to have a special license which requires more special sanitary inspection. The work in this department is grow- ing more every year.
Many local producers are establishing pasteurization systems, and the percentage of raw milk is becoming less each year.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES O'DOWD, Acting Milk Inspector.

Much time and attention was given this year so that all stores and markets that handle any kind of meats or foodstuffs were clean and sanitary in every way, according to the rules of this de- partment.
We are growing fast to be the business center for all surround- ing towns. More people are coming here to trade and do their marketing each year. This year the holiday business in our mar-

kets and stores was the largest ever; our marketmen, especially, were more than pleased with the large amount of poultry of all kinds that was sold. I found many markets completely all sold out and conditions best ever.
Wollaston and Atlantic are fast growing to be a central district by themselves. Large business enterprises are gradually building up and creating a demand for more stores and markets of a larger type and better equipped with all the latest up-to-date sanitary fixtures for handling goods to the customer in the shortest time possible.
On April 5th, 1927, Mr. Fred R. Nivers, deputy inspector of fish, called at this office. We made inspections all over the city of all fish markets and stores where fresh fish is sold for food. He ex- pressed himself much pleased with the fine quality of fish used here and the neat, clean conditions in which he found the markets. He was very grateful to me for giving him a day for this pur- pose, which I was very glad to do.

We have one hundred so-called chain stores in our city this year. Cash and carry stores are sometimes cheaper than those giving credit and delivery. Certainly carrying food a short distance is no hardship. The clean stores should be preferred. In all stores food should be covered so that it will not be touched by flies, insects or fingers. The housewife should go to the store to select her food, especially meats and fresh fruits and vegetables. At the same time, she will learn to know and compare prices and brands. She will also keep in touch with any special bargains that are offered.
Respectfully submitted,
HOWARD ROGERS,
Inspector of Meats and Provisions.
