One sample of T.T. Pasteurised Milk was void.
Condensed Milk Regulations, 1959
These Regulations provide standards for milk fat and milk solids of condensed
milk, and control the labelling of containers. During the year 14 samples were
submitted to the Public Analyst Tor examination and were reported genuine.
Markets
The Street Traders using the market sites in Bradmore Lane and Norland Road
operate from approved pitches licenced by the Borough Council under section 21
of the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1947. The markets in Cinema
Extension, Uxbridge Road, and in Railway Approach are privately owned. Frequent inspections of the food stalls in these markets were made, particular attention
being paid to the storage accommodation used by the street traders.
MEDICINAL BATHS & TREATMENT CENTRE
General
Due to the bitterly cold weather of January and February, work in this section
was rendered very difficult and arduous. Assistance continued to be rendered to
Acton, Kensington and the L.C.C. and Middlesex County Council, as the reconstruction of the Kensington Cleansing Station was still in progress. In addition, early
in January, frozen water pipes made the Kensington Health Laundry non-effective
and their staff were granted limited facilities at our laundry to maintain this valuable
service. In February the Kensington .Station became completely inoperative and
disinfecting and disinfestation services were carried out by the Hammersmith Station.
With the advent of milder weather numerous requests were made for bedding
to be dried, as premises were flooded from burst water tanks in roof spaces.
Unfortunately due to the influx of work from our own residents, assistance in this
connection to neighbouring authorities could not be given. Additional staff were
engaged to cope with the extra work, but conditions did not return to normal until
the end of March.
Assistance has continued to be rendered to the Old People's Welfare section
of the Town Clerk's department, 2,536 towels and 74 overalls being laundered for
the Luncheon Clubs. The Dormobile was used to convey patients for chiropody
treatment, for club meetings and collection and delivery of baggage for holiday
participants.
Our latest venture to assist the bathing of elderly and infirm continues to make
steady progress. It has been possible to arrange up to four baths in one day, but
the morning sessions are not easy to organise, 73 fruitless journeys being made to
the homes. 20 persons shared the 407 baths arranged.
