Seattle, Washington.
July 9th 1891.

To the Honorable City Council, of the City of Seat-
tle.

Gentlemen:

We the undersigned producers or con-
sumers of milk, sold in and about the city of Seat-
tle, hereby respectfully submit as follows:

That we are informed that a large quantity of
the milk sold in and about the City of Seattle, is
milk produced from cows fed on malt, after being
used by the breweries for the purposes of brewing
beer; that it is a known fact, that the milk produced
from such feed is very injurious and conducive to
diseases, more expecially the ailments by which in-
fants are affected; that we are also informed and
believe that such malt or swill milk, which is now
being used in the said City and vicinity, is produc-
ed from about Six-hundred cows, which are fed upon
the refuse malt from the breweries. The milk from
this number of cows for a large portion of the
supply at present sold and distributed to the fam-
ilies in the city of Seattle. The sale of this malt
or swill milk is prohibited in all well regulated Cities
of the United States, and it should be prohibited in
the City of Seattle.
