The Mutual Registration of Assistance Society (a branch of the Charity Organisation Society)
have been of considerable help to the Council's Milk Sub-Committee in providing information
of the assistance being given by other bodies to applicants for milk at a reduced price or free of
cost, and the Council acknowledge the value of the work by making an annual grant of £10 to the
Society.
The Council's Milk Sub-Committee work in close co-operation with the Board of Guardians
and a scheme has been formulated whereby milk and dinners recommended by the Milk SubCommittee
are supplied by the Board to certain nursing mothers who are already in receipt of Poor
Law relief. This scheme obviates the undesirable practice of a person being granted a somewhat
similar form of relief by two different authorities.

Table: The dried milk and dinners supplied during the year by the Board of Guardians under this scheme are shown below:—
