No person shall bottle any milk or cream in any vehicle upon any street
nor in any place other than the plant or place where the same is produced
or within the plant, store or room where the same is kept for sale and all
milk or cream produced, sold or offered for sale shall be of the standard
quality prescribed by the General Statutes and shall be produced, handled,
cared for, sold and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the General
Statutes and the rules and regulations of the Milk Regulation Board of this
state and the provisions of this chapter.
No person shall sell or offer for sale, in the city, milk or cream,
unless such milk or cream shall be produced from tuberculin-tested cows, officially
tested by the state or unless such person shall have an accredited herd certificate
issued within 12 months or unless such milk or cream has been pasteurized
in compliance with the provisions of law.
No person shall produce for sale, offer, keep or expose for sale or
sell or deliver within the city any milk or cream to be used by any person
for food without having a license therefor which shall be issued by the City
Clerk upon presentation to him of an application therefor approved by the
Health Officer as provided in this chapter.
Each application for a license shall be in writing in duplicate upon
blanks provided by the Health Officer and shall contain the name and address
of the applicant, the location of his place of business or a general description
thereof, the number of milch cows kept by him, the name and address of each
retail dealer to whom he sells or delivers milk or cream, approximately the
quantity of milk and cream daily produced, delivered or sold, as the same
may be, and if such applicant does not produce all of the milk and cream sold
or delivered by him, such application shall also include the name and address
of each producer from whom such applicant procures any milk or cream for sale
or delivery. In the event that such applicant, while licensed to sell or deliver
milk or cream as provided in this chapter, shall procure for sale or delivery
any milk or cream from any person whose name and address has not been given
by such applicant to the Health Officer, such applicant shall forthwith file
in writing with the Health Officer the name and address of such person.
The Health Officer shall make such investigation and examination of
each applicant for a license and of each licensee and of the milk and cream
produced, sold or offered for sale or delivery by any such applicant or licensee
and of his place of business and of the premises where milk or cream is produced,
sold or offered for sale, including any vehicle, container or appliance used
in the production, handling, selling and delivering of milk or cream by any
applicant or licensee hereunder, as he may find necessary, and if the Health
Officer shall find that any applicant for license produces, delivers or sells,
as the case may be, pure and wholesome milk and cream, he shall endorse upon
such duplicate applications his approval with the date thereof, provided that
the Health Officer shall not endorse his approval upon any application for
a license until he shall have evidence of the registration (for the current
period) in the proper state office by the original producer of all milk or
cream to be offered, sold or delivered by such applicant for a license.
Each license shall be numbered and each applicant for such license shall,
at the time such license is issued, pay to the City Clerk $0.50 for the use
of such city for such license, and no license shall be issued for a term longer
than one year, and each license shall expire on the last day of February.
Each licensee engaged in the sale or delivery of any milk or cream and using
any vehicle therefor shall also secure from the City Clerk two metal license
number plates for each vehicle used by such licensee in the sale or delivery
of milk or cream, upon which such plates shall be legibly printed the words
"Milk License, No. __ Derby, Conn." Before the word "Derby" upon
such plates shall appear the number in figures of such license, and such licensee
shall attach in a conspicuous place one of such plates to each outer side
of such vehicle. Such numbers may be changed annually, subject to the orders
of the Health Officer. Such licensee shall pay $0.75 for each pair of such
license plates. Each producer and each dealer shall display his license in
a conspicuous place in the place in which he produces or sells or offers or
exposes for sale any milk or cream.
The Health Officer may revoke any license upon written notice either
delivered to or deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the
last known address of the licensee whose license is thereby revoked. He is
also authorized to employ such assistance as he may require for the purpose
of administering the provisions of this chapter, the compensation for whom
shall be fixed by the Board of Aldermen.
