The Chief Inspector of Weights and
Measures, A. J. Street, reports that during
the year 1897 350 Dairies and Milk Shops
were dealt with, being 26 more than in 1896.
Of the total number, 294 were registered at
Guildhall, 40 were unregistered, and 16 were
either closed or demolished.
These places are also visited periodically by
your Inspectors, with a view of discovering
and remedying any defects found in the
general sanitary arrangements of the premises.
The regulations made by the Corporation
in respect of Dairies and Milk Shops were
printed in my Report for 1895, and need not
be repeated here.
