Section E.
INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
The work of inspecting premises where food is prepared, sold, or
stored is carried out by two qualified food inspectors, who ensure that
foodstuffs are handled with care and protected from contamination.
MILK SUPPLY.
(a) Cowsheds.
The 3 cowsheds in the Borough have been visited and inspected on
27 occasions. One intimation was served in respect of want of cleanliness
and the necessary cleansing was carried out.
Applications for licences were considered by the Public Health
Committee, as follows:—
1. 213, Grundy Street—Mr. Edgar Ernest Culshaw—licensed to
keep 17 cows.
(Note.—Early in 1934 this Licence was transferred to Mr. Hugh
Pritchard Williams.)
2. 17-19, Morville Street—Mr. John Henry Chandler—licensed to
keep 19 cows.
3. 48, St. Leonard's Street—Mr. Charles Robert Neall. No. 1
Shed licensed for 19 cows to 30th June, 1934, subject to certain
works being carried out by the next licensing meeting; No. 2
Shed not licensed.
(b) Dairies and Milkshops.
During the year 3 premises were registered as dairies and one registration
was cancelled. At the end of the year there were in the Borough
109 registered premises where raw milk is sold. These premises were
kept under strict observation, 319 inspections being made.
The standard of cleanliness in cowsheds, milkshops and other premises
where milk is dealt with has been well maintained.
23 persons (including 8 itinerant vendors) were registered as retail
purveyors of milk, 11 of these being on account of change of ownership
of premises.
