Persons registered as milk sellers (previously
trading without being registered) 11
Persons registered as milk sellers owing to change
of proprietorship 6
New premises opened as milk shops by persons
already registered 2
The names of 6 persons who had discontinued selling milk were
removed, so that at the end of the year the register comprised 89
persons, occupying 110 shops, as follows:—
Dairies 51
Bakers and Confectioners 28
Restaurants and Coffee Shops 10
General Shops 21
These orders only require the registration of persons, any of whom
may occupy more than one shop in the Borough. This accounts for
the difference between the number of persons registered and the shops
occupied.
Inspections of premises where milk is sold 638
On August 12th enquiry was made at the various railway stations
in the Borough, when it was ascertained that about 389 churns, containing
4,718 gallons, arrived; the largest number of churns is
delivered at Maida Vale station, but many of these are for ultimate
delivery in adjoining districts.
A large quantity of milk is delivered in the Borough by outside
firms and from farms near by, in addition to which there are vendors
living in other districts.
On November 25th a sample of milk was obtained from a street
vendor in Maygrove Road who was found not to have been registered.
He stated that he had only that week started in business.
An inspection of his premises was made, when it was found that he
occupied two rooms and had no suitable places in which to store milk
or to wash utensils. As he at once gave up the sale of milk he was
cautioned for not having been registered, but no further proceedings
were taken.
