From The Indianapolis News, Wednesday, March 1: An ordinance is being prepared to provide for the clarification and pasteurization of all milk sold in Indianapolis. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city board of health secretary, says the measure will revolutionize the present distribution of milk and milk products to the consumer. Pasteurized milk must be put into containers labeled “pasteurized” and delivered within thirty-six hours after pasteurization. All milk must come from disease-free herds and no milk is to contain more than 50,000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter. Many samples of milk currently sold in Indianapolis show between 200,000 and 1,000,000 bacteria in each cubic centimeter. Dr. Morgan said small milk dealers will object to spending $300 (2014: $6,429.55) for clarifiers and pasteurization machines, so they should pool their interests and use the same equipment thus eliminating much of the expense.
