It is very satisfactory to record that all the samples of
Pasteurised milk satisfied the Phosphatase test of the efficiency
of pasteurisation, and only one sample failed to pass the Methylene
Blue (keeping quality) test.
In accordance with a standard practice throughout the
County samples of all milk (including T.T. milk) which is sold to
the public without heat treatment are submitted to routine biological
testing, and it is most satisfactory to be able to record that
none of the 39 samples showed any evidence of the presence of
the tubercle bacillus.

ICE CREAM.
Under the provisions of Section 64 of the Coulsdon and Purley
Act, 86 premises within the District are registered for the sale of
ice cream and a further 3 for the manufacture and sale of this
commodity. In addition, the sale of ice cream is carried on from
23 premises which are exempt from registration. During the year,
169 visits of inspection were made to these premises.
The registration of two premises for the sale of ice cream
was cancelled because of the change in character of the general
business carried on thereat.
