<br />
<br />regulating the sale and handling of milk and cream in the City, which had been referred to bi~
<br />on Dece~oer 1Vth:
<br /> "Portsmouth, Va., January 20, 1919.
<br /> "To th~ Hon. City 0ouncil,
<br />
<br /> "Portsmouth, Va.
<br /> "6entlemen: -- Replying to your request calling upon me for a report on the ordinance
<br />~regulating ~he traffic in milk and cream,' I beg to say:
<br />
<br /> "That so far as I am able to rsee there are no legal objections to the ordinance, yet it
<br />is for you to determine how far such an ordinance is necess~y.
<br />
<br /> "Our State law, section 1899A of the Code, Vol. 3, page 239, seems to amply provide for
<br />the inspection of cattle by the State Live Stock Sanitary Board, while other provisions of our
<br />law protect o~ people from adulterated or impure mil~. The sirmple question, therefore, is,
<br />should we have an amended state law covering any defects that ~y now exist; fixing proper re-
<br />gulations for the entire people, or sh,mld we have local legislation whereby one part of our
<br />people differs from ar, other in regard to milk regulations.
<br />
<br />"Respectfully,
<br />
<br />~Jno. W. Happer, City ~ttorney.~
