County Council for the provision of rehousing accommodation for families

year 54 cases were approved by the Council for inclusion in the agreement and of
these, 27 families had been rehoused by the end of the year.
Housing Act, 1936, Section 18.
Allowances towards Removal Expenses.
During the year the Council made allowances towards the cost of removal of
20 families displaced in consequence of action taken by the Council under Part II
of the Housing Act, 1936.
INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops.
In connection with the duties imposed on the Council respecting registration
of milkshops, opportunity is taken before entering the premises or the name of
the applicant on the register to inspect the premises proposed to be used, to
ascertain whether they are suitable for the sale of milk. 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 1938, the number of registered dairies and milkshops
in the Borough was 155.
Ten entries were made in the register during 1938. All these were new
registrations, 4 being itinerant vendors with premises outside the Borough.
The Sanitary Inspectors recorded 490 inspections of milk premises. It was
not necessary to serve notice for any breach of the Order or sanitary defect.
