" "Rochester, Minnesota April 10, 1933 City Council Rochester, Minnesota Gentlemen: A special committee of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce appointed to make a study of the Rochester Milk Ordinance held a meeting on Monday, April 3,1933. After hearing from persons favoring the retention of the ordinance as it now stands and from persons who are objecting to the' ordinance, the committee voted unanimously to recommend to your body that the present Milk Ordinance be retained. This ordinance has been in operation in Rochester for eight years and although it is not a perfect law it is modeled after the best practices in this country. Since its adoption, several cities in this and other states have modeled their milk ordinances after it, chiefly because it contained a fair opportunity to all concerned to come under its terms. The law is aimed at only one thing. When a municipality undertakes to regulate the parity of foods, such as milk sold within its boundaries, it assumes a moral if not a legal responsibility for the safety of the product, and citizens have a right to expect a reasonable standard of purity to exist in such foods sold. The law was made as strict as is consistent, with practicability, and still furnish a fair standard of purity for the product. Although the law is couched in legal phrases, it provides simply that the milk to be used for drinking shall have come from farms following common sense sanitary principles, that the cows shall be healthy, the milkers not suffering from contagious diseases, and that the milk shall be cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. The bacterial count is simply an, indication of the general cleanliness of the milk. We urge that the City Council in order to protect the health of its citizens keep the present ordinance in effect. Very truly yours, ROCHESTER CHAMBER OLD' COMMERCE Dyer H. Campbell secretary.
