These registered premises were under regular
inspection. During the year no case of infectious
disease occurred upon premises where milk was sold.
It was therefore not necessary to put into force the
regulations under the above Order appertaining to the
stoppage of sale of milk, disinfection, and the granting
of certificates, &c. There were 26 applications made
during the year for registration of premises for sale of
milk, and after inspection certificates were granted. In
no case was a milkshop taken off the Register on the
grounds that the premises were unsuitable.
RAG FLOCK ACT, 1911.

SUMMONSES ORDERED.
During last year your Council and the Public
Health Committee gave authority for 83 summonses
to be taken out against persons for having failed to
comply with the requirements of notices which had
been served. It was not found necessary to proceed
in the great majority of cases, as the work was carried
out before the issue of the summonses.
In 21 cases summonses were taken out, a list of
which, together with the result of the proceedings
follows.
