2. Licences were granted under the Milk (Special Designations)
Order, 1923, during 1925, for the sale of:-
" Certified " milk 7
" Grade A " milk 19
" Grade A (Tuberculin Tested)" milk 7
" Pasteurised " milk 6
The above include supplementary licences which were issued
for "Certified" milk 6, "Grade A" milk 8, "Grade A (Tuberculin
Tested)" milk 5, and "Pasteurised" milk 5. These are
licences granted to firms who already have a licence from another
Authority, the milk being bottled outside the town but sold in
Ilford.
One trader was refused licences for the sale of "Grade A"
and "Certified" milk for having bottled "Grade A" milk without
a licence.
3. Milk Sampling.—13 samples of "Grade A" and 17
samples of ordinary milk were taken. In no instance was the presence
of Tubercle Bacilli established.
The following table shows the results of the analyses. It will be remembered that the standard for "Grade A" milk is that a sample shall be found to contain
