rise to effluvia, or to the formation of dust. Amongst the former
may be mentioned fish and vegetables, such as onions; amongst
the latter coal, potatoes, hearthstone, whiting, &c.
4. This class includes vendors carrying on the milk trade
in connection with a private residence, i.e., the milk is not
sold in a shop. Amongst these vendors are those who sell
milk only on a round and not on the premises. The number
of these is 10. Others in this class sell milk both on rounds
and also on the premises. Of these there are 14. The private
premises of this class of milk vendor requires very careful
scrutiny before deciding as to their suitability for the business
of milk vendor.
5. The fifth class of vendors is a very miscellaneous lot.
The total number included amounts to 16, and these have
shops in which are carried on the following businesses in
addition to that of milk selling, viz.:—
Confectionery, sweets and mineral waters 1
Tea, coffee, ice creams and mineral waters 1
Tobacco, ice creams and mineral waters 2
Sweets and mineral waters 1
General refreshments 3
General newspapers, &c., and sweets 3
Beer (off-license), paraffin oil and general stores 1
Beer (off license) and groceries 4
The premises of each of these must, I am of opinion, be carefully
examined before admitting them to the privilege of registration.
Taking these five classes of milk vendors in the order I have
mentioned them, I am of opinion—that the purveyors included
in Class 1, which consist of dairies proper, may be registered without
any restriction except that proper provision shall be taken where
necessary to keep the milk on the premises properly covered.
The vendors in Class 2 may also be registered as suitable,
with the same reservation as that applied to Class 1.
