The bottling establishments have been under constant supervision,
and, for the purpose of renewal of licences, special inspections were made
and reports submitted.
Three purveyors holding Pasteuriser's Licences were sampled under
the above Order; 9 samples were taken, of which 8 were satisfactory.
With regard to the unsatisfactory sample, the Medical Officer of Health
visited the Dealer's premises and thoroughly examined the plant, after
which a further sample was taken and reported to be satisfactory.
18 samples of Grade "A" (Tuberculin Tested) milk were taken on
delivery at Railway Stations for bacterial counts. One was unsatisfactory
and information of this was sent to the Ministry of Health and
the County Medical Officer of Health.
Examination of Milk for Tuberculosis.
In addition to the samples shown in the table on page 6r, the
London County Council took 85 samples of milk for biological examination
for the presence of tubercle Bacillus. All the samples were taken from
mixed bulk milk arriving in the Borough.
Milk delivered to Hospitals and the Open-Air School, Bow Road.
The arrangements for taking samples at St. Andrew's Hospital and
Bow Institution belonging to the London County Council and at Poplar
Hospital have continued throughout the year, and on a request being
made by the London County Council for samples to be taken at Bow
Road Open-Air School this was done. As the milk supplied to the
L.C.C. Institutions is "Pasteurised" milk, bacteriological examinations
are carried out in addition to chemical analysis. 21 samples were taken
(10 for bacteriological examination and 11 for chemical analysis).
Milk supplied to L.C.C. Schools.
In 1931 the London County Council asked if arrangements could be
made for samples of the milk delivered at their schools to be examined,
and it was arranged that samples should be taken by our Inspectors in
the ordinary course of their sampling work. During 1932 20 samples
were taken at 16 schools. All the samples were reported to be genuine,
and the London County Council was informed accordingly.
In one instance legal proceedings were taken for an infringement of
Article 21 of the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926. A penalty of £3 and
£2 costs was imposed.
