DAIRIES, COWSHEDS, MILKSHOPS, &c., &c.
Under the provisions of the London Government Act, 1899,
the powers vested in the London County Council relating to
Dairies, Cowsdeds and Milkshops, under the Dairies, Cowsheds
and Milkshops Orders, and also the powers relating to the
control, supervision and inspection of Offensive Trades, viz.,
Knackers' Yards, Bone, Blood, or Soap Boilers, Fat and Tallow
Melters, Slaughter Houses, and any premises on which offen-
sive businesses are carried on, were transferred to the
Metropolitan Borough Councils. Lists of the premises in the
borough registered under the London County Council, with
copies of Bye-laws and regulations and information relating
thereto, was duly forwarded to the Borough Council. Since the
receipt of such information, the whole of the premises have
been inspected.
A register of the milk purveyors in the borough has been
compiled, and the new registrations from time to time recorded.
Constant inspection is necessary to keep the premises in a
cleanly state, both in relation to utensils, floors, counters, &c.
