OF FOOD.
Milk Supply.—In accordance with statutory enactments, the Council
keeps a Register of persons carrying on the trade of dairymen or Puveyors
of milk and no person is permitted to carry on the trade in the
Borough unless he is registered. The Council is empowered to remove
the name from or refuse to enter upon the Register the name of any
person selling or proposing to sell milk on premises which are for any
reason unsuitable for the purpose.
The Milk and Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922, further empowers the
Council to refuse to enter the name of any person in the Register, or to
remove the name of any person from that Register, if it is shown to the
Council's satisfaction that the public health is or is likely to be endangered
by any act or default of such person in relation to the quality, storage
or distribution of milk.
The premises at which registered purveyors of milk carry on their
business have been subject to frequent inspection. During the year
one application was made for registration as a purveyor of milk which
after appropriate investigation, was approved by the Council.
