False Inspectors Warned
Against By
Graham
Warning against any except duly
accredited inspectors with creden
tials to show their authority is be
ing issued to proprietors of cafes by
R. C. Graham, city milk and sani
tary inspector.
“No cafe proprietor is required to
allow inspection of his premises by
any one who cannot show creden
tials to prove his authority," Gra
ham says. “If the regular inspec
tors are not carrying such papers,
they can secure them if they are de
manded bv the restaurant men.”
Graham’s warning is given as a
result of reports that men have
have passed themselves off as in
soectors to aet information about
their competitors.
Graham says instances of nseudn
inspectors have been reported, and
he is now investigating these.
