In calculating the percentage of fat removed or the amount of
water added, the analyst is to have regard to the above
limits of 3.25% fat and of 8.5% non-fatty solids ; and,
when the non-fatty solids fall below 8.5%, the analyst
shall also take into account the extent to which the milk
fat exceeds 3.25%.
GENERAL SANITARY WORK.
825 complaints, or fewer by 140 than in any of the previous seven
years, were received and attended to, and 2,933 notices under the
Public Health, (London) Act, were served in respect of nuisances
discovered in the course of house to house inspection, and the
inspection of houses consequent upon complaints, or the existence
of infectious disease.
I have pleasure in again concluding my report by expressing
my opinion that all the members of the Staff of the Public Health
Department have endeavoured zealously and faithfully to discharge
their important duties, and I can testify to the interest which they
take in their work, and to the thoroughness with which it is
performed.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. CHARLES JACKSON.
