Gentlemen: The writer has been asked to present the following sug- gestions to the City Council for the benefit and betterment of conditions under which milk, cream and other dairy products are being sold within the City of Dubuque. It is believed by the group of men who made these suggestions that the City should re- ceive inspection fees from the indi- vidual owners of cattle supplying milk and cream to this City to at least the extent of the present cost of inspection as is now required. It has been suggested that the Council authorize, if possible, that fees shall be collected as follows: (a) $5.00 per year from individual dairymen supplying milk to pas- teurizing plants whose products are sold within the City of Du- buque, such fees to cover two annual inspections of stables and premises. There are approximate- ly 80 such dairymen. (b) $10.00 per year from each indi- vidual dairymen supplying raw milk sold within the City of Du- buque, such fees to cover four inspections per year of stables and premises. There are approx- imately 250 such dairymen. It is further suggested that the Milk Ordinance be revised to pre- scribe that the labeling of milk such as Holstein, Guernsey, etc., should be done only in such cases as 100% of the herd are of Holstein, Guern- sey or other individual breeds of cattle. It is suggested that present condi- tions covering one and two cow dai- ries shall be eliminated from the Special Session, January 30th, 1933 11 present ordinance and that one and two cow dairies shall be subject to regulations the same as other dairies. Yours very truly, R. M. EVANS, City Manager. Councilman McEvoy moved to re- fer the communication of City Man- ager Evans to the City Solicitor. Seconded by Councilman Thompson.
