§ Dr. ADDISONIt is proposed, before bringing the Milk and Dairies Act into force, to introduce proposals for legislation to provide for the licensing of milk-producers and dealers, for the definition and grading of milk and for empowering local authorities to undertake the supply and distribution of milk in their areas.
