Act, 1898, which has important sanitary provisions,
and (2) Ilford Urban District Council Act, 1904, the section of
which (dealing with the control of Tuberculosis) is now over-ruled
by the Milk and! Dairies- Act, while the section dealing with
infectious disease has enactments similar to the Public Health
Acts of 1907. Sections 62 and 63' only of Part IV. of the Public
Health Act, 1907, have been adopted.
SECTION III.—SUPERVISION OF FOOD SUPPLY.
1. Milk Supply.—There are 46 dairies and milkshops and
6 cowsheds on the register. 371 inspections of dairies, milkshops
and cowsheds were carried out during the year.
Of the 46 premises from which milk is retailed in Ilford, 8 are
branches of one firm, 4 another, and 2 another. Of the remainder,
three are retailers in a large way. 12 retail from dairy shops or
stores, 7 from general grocery shops, and 3 from restaurants. 7
are retailers in a small way with rounds and also provision for
storage of milk.
In three of the premises pasteurising plant has been installed
for the treatment of milk to comply with the requirements
of the Milk and Diaries (Amendment) Act, 1922. Only one of
these has, however, been licensed under the Order.
