(i) Milk and Dairies (Consolidation) Act, 1915.

The number of premises in respect of which persons are registered
as purveyors of milk is 105. During the year, 236 inspections
were made and three notices were served.
In addition 30 persons are registered as purveyors of milk whose
premises are situated outside Hampstead.
The unsatisfactory condition of a certain premises in the Borough
used for the bottling of milk was reported to the Public Health Committee
in September, it being my opinion that the public health was,
or was likely to be, endangered by the acts and defaults of the person
registered as a dairyman at those premises. A Notice was duly
served upon the responsible person, in accordance with Section 2 of
the Milk and Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922, to show cause why
the Council should not remove his name and the premises from the
register of dairymen and dairy premises for the following reasons:—
(a) Owing to lack of proper supervision of the dairy; (b) Owing to
the dirty condition of the premises; (c) Owing to the dirty condition
of the bottles, churns, and utensils; (d) Owing to the premises not
being suitable for their present use, viz., the business of bottling milk,
cleansing receptacles and the storage of vehicles; (e) Owing to the
premises generally not complying with the provisions of the Milk and
Dairies Order, 1926.
After a careful hearing of the objections of the dairyman and
his employee to the proposal to remove his name and address from the
Register, the Council, on the recommendation of the Public Health
Committee, resolved to remove the entries from the Register.
