These registered premises were under regular
inspection. During the year three cases of infectious
disease occurred upon premises where milk was sold.
The regulations under the above Order appertaining
to the stoppage of sale of milk, disinfection, and the
granting of certificates were strictly enforced under
my directions. There were 36 applications made during
the year for registration of premises for sale of milk, and
after inspection certificates were granted. In no case
was a milkshop taken off the Register on the grounds
that the premises were unsuitable.
