At that meeting it was definitely
eclded to reduce tho price of milk
o the retailor 12 cents a gallon, or
cents a uuart, making 60 cent tne
wholesale- nrlco a gallon. Half of
this reduction Is borno by tho pro.

men and dairy companies.

the reduction of 3 cents a quart wero
taken into consideration, milk should

ong, retail dealers In milk havo
been charging a 'long'r price when
they sold mllK nt 25 cents a quurt
making more profit than could bu
reasonably expectod. Ho with tho re
duction by producers nnd dairymen,

but they are not jubuncu in so uomg.
Tho i-ctullur can sell milk for IS
