Ice Cream.
There are 168 premises in the borough from which ice cream
is sold, 23 of these being occupied by Italian vendors.
Applications for the registration of 17 premises were granted
by the Council during the year. There was, therefore, an increase
of 17 in the number of premises compared with 1929.
All the premises, stalls, barrows, &c., from which the trade is
carried on are kept under inspection during the season.
During the year 208 inspections were made and 1 notice
was served to remedy defects found on inspection.
The improvement in the manner in which this commodity is
now prepared and sold in Battersea, referred to in previous annual
reports, is on the whole being maintained.
Milk and Dairies Order, 1926.
The provisions of the above-named Order continued to be
enforced by the Council's Officers during the year under report.
It was found necessary in three cases to institute legal proceedings
for breaches of the requirements of the Order with regard
to the filling of milk bottles on registered premises. In two cases
the offence consisted of filling the bottles in the street, and in the
third, the opening of a bottle already filled and sealed. The
results of the proceedings are set out on page 82.
Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923.
Under this Order the Council are authorised to issue licences
to others than producers (i.e., persons producing milk for sale from
herds over which they have control). The licences so granted are
available for a period up to the end of the year in which they were
issued. There is a scale of fees payable to the Licensing Authority
by applicants for licences.

Two licences to bottle Grade A (T.T.) milk and one licence to
pasteurise milk were granted and are included in the above figures.
