In considering this question regard should be paid to the structure
of the premises, and to the liability of contamination of the
milk, that is—
1. The lighting and ventilation should be adequate.
2. The room used for sale or storage of milk should not
communicate directly with a sleeping or living room.
3. There should not be any drain inlet in such room.
4. Efficient means, including a plentiful supply of water,
should be provided for properly cleansing the milk vessels.
5. Milk should not be placed where it is liable to be contaminated
by particles of dust or effluvia given off by particles
sold on the same premises, or even in the same shop, e.g., coals,
vegetables, paraffin oil, fish, &c.
6. Efficient means should be provided for keeping the
milk covered.
7. Every precaution should be adopted to prevent milk
being contaminated in any way.
8. The premises and utensils should be kept in a satisfactory
state of cleanliness.
All milk vendors should at least in my opinion satisfy the Committee
on these points before being registered.
With regard to the present dairymen and purveyors of milk
in the Borough, I find that there is a total of 329 on the Register.
