Milk Supply.
There are 85 dairies and milkshops in the district;
eight persons whose premises are outside the district
are registered as retail purveyors. Routine inspection
of premises, has again revealed that the provisions of
the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926, have been generally
well observed.
The following Licences to sell graded milks were granted in 1939 :—
| Grade of Milk. | Typo of Licence. | |
