Section 5.
Inspection and Supervision of Food.
Milk Supply.
There has been no Cowhouse in the Borough for many years; all
the milk is now brought into the district from outside the County.
The Food Inspector supervises all the dairies and milkshops in
the Borough, and a reference to the sampling of the milk supply will
be found in that part of the report dealing with the Sale of Food and
Drugs Acts.
Milk and Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922.
This Act imposes upon Local Authorities the obligation of compiling
two registers of milk dealers, one wholesale and one retail, and
empowered them to refuse to register a retail purveyor of milk, or to
remove a person from the register.
The number of premises in respect of which persons are registered
as purveyors of milk is 63, comprising 43 dairies, 5 restaurants and
coffee shops, and 15 general shops.
During the year 174 inspections were made and 4 notices were
served.
