With respect to Class 3, I am of opinion that these should not
be registered unless (a) the articles capable of giving off dusty
particles and effluvia be removed from the shop in which the milk
is kept or sold, and (b) unless the milk is kept properly covered
(preferably with a metallic covering).
In Class 4, we have firstly those vendors selling milk only on
rounds. Careful enquiry should be made in each of these cases,
and registration should not be made unless the storage place for the
cans and milk utensils is in every way satisfactory, and that proper
provision is made for the thorough cleansing of these cans and
utensils.
With regard to those vendors in connection with private
premises who sell both on their rounds, and also from their private
residences these should not be registered unless (a) the place from
which the milk is sold is entirely cut off from any living or sleeping
room, and from any common passage in the house; (b) unless the
storage place for milk, and milk utensils is in every way satisfactory;
(c) unless provision is made for the thorough cleansing of cans
and utensils; (d) and unless the milk kept on the premises be properly
covered (preferably with a metal cover).
As regards the fifth class the principle of protecting the milk
from effluvia and dirty and other undesirable particles should be
applied here also. Means for the storage of milk and proper cleansing
of milk utensils should be insisted upon.
I have specified the vendors of this class in the Borough separately
as the Committee may prefer to consider them individually.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
J. KING WARRY, M.D., D.P.H.,
Medical Officer of Health.
