ABSTRACT
The whole question of the provision made for the housing of the cows and buffaloes necessary for the production of the milk required by the population of Bombay came before the Municipal Corporation of that city in 1915, and a Committee was appointed to consider and report on what action should be taken. In 1915 the whole question was as to whether the milch cattle stables should be removed to definite sites outside of the town; and four sites had been suggested as possible. The chapter considers what the milk supply of a big city like Bombay involves, and the advantages and disadvantages of every method by which it can be met. The milk is produced on the spot, and can hence be delivered to customers fresh, without any treatment whatever, and without being dependent on any railway company or other body.
