In fact, there were too many preventable deaths occurring in Casper, attribut- able to dirty milk and a dangerous: water supply. A “Proper recognized disease preven- nm remedies were not in existence state since January 1 645,468 tons compared with 10,131,- the truth for civic betterment. “There were many committees ot investigation appointed to delve into the need of remedies suggested by the local health department. These in vestigations were carried on very thoroughly and systematically, The “\ywhole matter, finally sifted itself down yo for Inspection to the city of Casper. 7? ‘ As aw to one committee of which Robert T. Kemp was “This committee arrived at its con- clusions only after considerable time spent in a survey of Casper’s situation and after replies from various cliiva and state had been received as to standards in effect there and after the surgeon general's office of the United States public health service, the great: est disease prevention body in_the world, had been consulted and various other organizations and individuals had been interviewed “as to what was ideal for a city of this size, “The présent state rrévisions of food and naflk gontrol were. found to be in adequate. The inspection laws sim- ply provided for a sediment test for visible dirt In milk and mo bacterial *the reason that the state of Wyoming does aot maintain a sate baceriological laboratory and further the number of the personnel employed in the state food commissioner’s office did not al- low them to devote the essential time “The final results are that the city council of Casper did adopt an ordi- nance known as No. 173-A setting the stendard set for..tho cities the size of Casper by the United States public health service andthe American public health ‘association all of which ‘standards were embraced in the report submitted by. the chamber of com- merce committee and further institut- ed the recommended chlorinating ap- paratus and same was installed at the city’s pumping station plant, under the direct supervision of the city en- \gineer, Frank S. Knittle. “In addition the city council ordered that the water supply be under con- stant bocteriological” supervision, and that when bacterial.examination show- “ea the presence of dangerous bacteria capable of causing intestinal diseases, the water would be chlorinated untl! the danger was removed as shown by frequent bacterial tests.- “The ‘creation of: the-office of ci food and/milk inspectorfisvas passed and has been functioning since Feb- fuary 1,.1921. So that today the city of Casper and county of Natrona far excel any city or county in the state of Wyoming in its public health ad- vancement ‘measures. “In fact the conditions at present existing in the city“and county so well satisfy Dr. A. B. Tonkin, who is the executive officer of the state board of health and whole time state health officer, that he has seen fit to hold .Casper’s system as a model for other “cities and counties in the state to ‘éopy. All-of this benefit has been obtained at.a minimum. expense, -al- "most negligible to a_city of this size. ~ “The city water is regularly tested at least twice monthly and a report of findings submitted™to thet mayor gad city council and. when findings lare such as to indicate the water may ‘be dangerous to consumers, it ts made ‘safe by chlorination. The mill from each desler is tested ‘twice monthly and publication. of results made.in both daily newspapers. The city milk, food and sanitary inspector makes frequent inspections of the: dairies, restaurants, meat shops ana other food handlers to protect. the. public against impurities, uncleanliness and disease. The city milk inspectoris a greduate of the agricultural college of ‘Wisconsin and an expert on dairying. “The state laws and city ordin- ances require the testing of all milk cows for evidence of tuberculosis by ‘a competent veterinarian, using a jrecognized test known as. the tuber. “eulin test.
