Generally they are very well conducted. In 17 cases, however, it was
found necessary to draw the occupier's attention to minor contraventions
of the statutory requirements. These were rectified without recourse
to formal action.
Legal proceedings were taken under the Milk and Dairies Order,
1926, in respect of the use of a dirty bottle for the delivery of milk.

above figures.

and/or sale of ice cream at the end of the year was 63, 16 having been

manufacturer takes place, and not only are the premises, plant, and
methods of operation scrutinised, but samples of the product are taken
for examination by the methods suggested by the Ministry of Health,

much new and up-to-date plant has been installed to comply with the
