I have by your instructions made periodical inspections of premises
where milk is stored and sold throughout the district with the object of enforcing
the regulations of the "Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Order of
1885," as amended by the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Amending
Order of 1886, and the London County Council (General Powers) Act,
1908, Section 5 (Milk Clauses), in respect to the sanitary condition of the
premises, cleanliness of measures, counter pans, means of storage, and
prevention of contamination, particularly in respect to other articles kept
for sale in the same premises. Where counter pans were not properly
covered instructions were given to have proper ones provided.
