The City of Lynn has the second largest voting list in the state, outside of Boston. The expense now, for the state and city election machinery and assistants, is $9,000 a year, in round numbers. The amendment would entail nearly double the expenditure. There are 53 cities and 320 towns in the state. Think it over before it is too late. The financial side must enter into the problem some time; isn't the present a good time? The milk question was referred to several times in the recent campaign, the suffragists implying that the Commonwealth was ignoring the need of legislation and inspection. Here are some of the milk laws on our statute books, that are administered by the State Department of Health: The Revised Laws, Chapter 56, provide: Penalties for the sale of adulterated, diseased, or skimmed milk. Penalties for sale of milk not of good standard. For the marking of skimmed milk. For the marking of condensed milk. Penalty for using counterfeit seal or tampering with sample. Penalty for connivance or obstruction. For the sending of results of analysis to dealer. That inspectors must act on information and evidence. The following acts are also in force: To prohibit the misuse of vessels used in the sale of milk (Acts 1906, chapter 116). To establish a standard for cream (Acts 1907, chapter 217).
