HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
Each month during the year pint samples have been taken from every milk dealer and analyzed for food value (fats and solids) and cleanliness (bacterial count and sedi- ment) and the yearly average is shown in the alphabetical list of dealers which follows :
The higher the fat and solids the greater the food value. The lower the bacterial count, the greater care in production, better handling or more efficient pasteurization is shown.

The General Laws define the terms used in this report as follows :
"Heated Milk" .- Milk which has been subjected to arti- ficial heat greater than one hundred and sixty-seven degrees Fahrenheit.
"Pasteurized Milk" .- Natural cows milk not more than 72 hours old when pasteurized subjected for a period of not less than thirty minutes to a temperature of not less than one hundred and forty nor more than one hundred and forty-five degrees Fahrenheit and immediately thereafter cooled to a temperature of fifty degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
Recommendations.
1. It is important that a strict supervision be given processing plants both in the city and in the country. With the present personnel of the department it is impossible to do so, and an inspector who devotes his entire time to cream- ery, milk plant and dairy inspection is much to be desired.
2. This department does not recommend "special milks." Most of the regular "market milk" will compare very favorably with the "special milks" now sold.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT E. BOWMAN, Inspector of Milk and Vinegar.
