The Borden Company Southern division P. □. Box 399 ABILENE, TEXAS March 18, 1955 Dear Truett: Thanks a lot for the copy of H.B. #606. Such a bill is not necessary under present sanitary and handling, conditions. It would increase the cost of handling—and raise the consumer price. The It has led to a decline in the consumption SSHtg Mr. Truett Latimer 217 Sayles Boulevard Abilene, Texas Governor Harriman has called for its repeal by the city of New York, regulation, he said, had led retailers to limit supplies because they could not return any excess or sell it. — ---- of milk. To increase the sale of milk, processors need to reduce costs—not be required by a law to increase them without valid reason. Dating of milk is wasteful, outdated and burdensome regulation. The USPH Milk Ordinance and Code does not require it. The few cities still requiring it are in the process of repealing their ordinances. It is not a public health measure. Modern refrigeration and pasteurization itself has eliminated the need for the dating rule as a health precaution. ', I feel sure that the gentleman who introduced this bill evidently is not very familiar with conditions prevalent in the dairy business. I sincerely hope you will use your influence to defeat this bill.
