Dairies, Cowsheds and Milk Shops.
By the provisions oMhe Milk and Dairies Order, 1926, made under the Milk
and Dairies Consolidation Act, 1915, no person is allowed to cany on the trade
ot a dairyman or use any premises as a dairy unless he and such premises are
registered with the local sanitary authority. Power is given to the sanitary
authority under the .Milk and Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922, under certain
conditions to refuse to register a retail purveyor of milk or to remove such person
or premises from the register. In connection with the duties imposed on the
Council respecting registration, opportunity is taken before entering the premises
or the name of the applicant on the register to inspect the premises proposed
to be used for the dairy purpose, to ascertain whether they are suitable for the
sale of milk thereon. From time to time it has been necessary to postpone
registration pending the completion of works found to be required.
At the end of the year 1928. the number of registered dairies and milk shops
in the Borough was 129; 4 retail dairies or milk shops were newly registered and
4 were removed from the register on the closure of the businesses. In 10 cases
