As far as time permitted, having regard to the
extra work thrown upon the Inspector in consequence
of the large amount of extra work at the FrancoBritish
Exhibition, the registered premises were under
inspection. During the year four cases of infectious
disease occurred upon premises where milk was sold.
The regulations under the above Order appertaining
to the stoppage of sale of milk, disinfection, and the
granting of certificates thereafter were strictly enforced
under my directions by the Officer carrying out the
transferred duties. There were 92 applications made
during the year for Registration of Premises for sale
of Milk, and after inspection certificates were granted
SUMMONSES ORDERED.
During last year your Council and the Public
Health Committee gave authority for 31 summonses
to be taken out against persons for having failed to
comply with the requirements of notices which had
been served. In all cases before summonses were
issued a letter was written to the person in default,
informing him that the Public Health Committee had
recommended the summons, and asking him if he was
willing to give an undertaking in writing that he
would forthwith comply with the notice which had
been served. In 30 cases the undertaking was at
once given, and it was not found to be necessary to
apply for the summons. It has been the object of the
department, as heretofore, to take out as few
summonses as possible, but at the same time in no
instance to allow anyone to defy the authority of
your Council.
During last year two summonses were taken out
through the Public Health Department.
