Dr. Hauenstein reported that he had been checking the human and bovine origin of such streptococci but as yet his findings were too premature for final conclusion. Commissioner Parker suggested that the employees of concerns. selling raw milk should be educated to �.. the wearing of masks and gloves when milking. It was agreed that the absence of reports of such germs in milk in other cities was probably due to their not performing these tests and examinations, as is regularly done here.

Dr. ,latated that except in the mse of small scratches the nuat wore not supposed to diagnoser oar treat cases without first reit ferri ,them to him or else to refer the children to their own doctor for treatment.

Attorney Powers' stated that the appointment would have to be made from an eligible list certified by the Civil Service Commission but that a salary for the poeltion would have to be fixed before such ,a list, cquld be procured. The matter of salary was then discussed and because there was no appropriation in the Board of Health budget for such a purpose it was.decided to refer the matter back to the Board of Public -forks and.ask them to make the appoint*ent and contjnue -the combination of both inspectors positions as has been done in the past,especially an this arrangement has been very- satisfactory. 18 Board of Health Proceedings -2- .fitne 9,1936 tem.

He pointed out that milk is a better culture medium for bacteria than i any other food.. Dry VanVolkenburg, state district health officer, insisted that, although Ithaca's milk supply is on the whole better than tha.t. ,ofmost-other communities in the etato,yet an epidemic aap. be started despite the best precautions.
