Milk Supply.—The majority of milk supplied to this Borough
is obtained from farmers and large firms outside the district. There
is, however, one farm in the Kidbrooke area where 100 cows are
kept, which is under constant supervision of the Inspector.
Cowhouses.—The three cowhouses in the Borough have been
visited on four occasions, and the required cleansing duly enforced.
Milk and Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922.—Milk and
Dairies Order, 1926.—At the commencement of the year there
were 185 purveyors of milk on the Register of Dairies and Milkshops.
Nineteen new applications have been received during the year and
added to the Register, and seventeen names have been taken off,
thus leaving a total of 187 purveyors of milk now registered. The
number of premises registered at the end of the year was 68.
Two hundred and sixty-one visits of inspection of dairies, and
shops where milk is sold in sealed cartons or bottles, have been
made; as a result of which lime-washing, cleansing or painting was
carried out in twelve cases.
