SECTION 5.
INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
39. MILK SUPPLY AND ICE-CREAM.
(a) Milk Supply.—Registered with the Authority are 41 retail purveyors, of
whom 12 occupy premises outside the district. In addition there are 2 cow-keepers.
During the year one dairyman was removed from the register in accordance
with section 2 of the Milk and Dairies Amendment Act, 1922.
It is unfortunate that legislation does not give power to prohibit the use of
premises as a dairy when the occupier is removed from the register as unsatisfactory,
and so avoid the possibility of applications for the use of the premises from persons
who are essentially his nominees.
There are two occupied cowshcd premises, with a total of 40 milch cows. One
is of recent construction, whilst the other is of the old-fashioned type but provided
with the statutory requirements.

Whilst 25 of the samples examined are described as pasteurised milk, the
majority of the samples represent supplies which, although pasteurised, were not
retailed as such, a condition to which I drew your particular attention in my
Reports for the years 1929 and 1930,
