Registration of Dairies and Dairymen.
Dairies and dairymen are registered by the
Borough Council under Article 6 of the Milk and
Dairies Order, 1926 and section 2 of the Milk and
Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922. Under this Act
the Local Authority have power to refuse to
register persons or the premises at which the
trade of dairymen is to be carried on. Power is also
given to remove persons or premises from the
register if the public health is or is likely to be
endangered by some act or default of the person
seeking registration in relation to the quality,
storage or distribution of the milk.
There were on the Register at the end of the
year 112 dairymen occupying 110 premises situated
within the Borough; in some cases several dairymen
occupy the same premises. In addition there
were 24 dairymen selling milk in Fulham from
premises situated and registered in adjoining
districts.
The following are details of changes which took place during 1933:—
| No. on Register at 31st December, 1932 | 109 |
| No. who transferred their businesses or discontinued selling milk during the year 1933 | 22 |
| 87 | |
| No. of Registrations granted during the year | 25 |
| No. on Register at 31st December, 1933 | 112 |
In addition to the above, registration was
granted during the year to 34 persons entitling
them to sell fresh milk only "in the properly
closed and unopened receptacles in which it is
delivered to the premises." Such registration
relates to the person only and not to the premises.
