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 cowsheds in the Borough have been visited and inspected on
36 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. Hugh Pritchard Williams—licensed to
keep 17 cows.
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. I
Shed was licensed for 19 cows to 30th June, 1934, subject to
certain works being carried out. The Committee refused to
licence the shed after that date in view of the conditions existing.
(b) Dairies and Milkshops.
During the year 3 premises were registered as dairies. At the end of
the year there were in the Borough 112 registered premises where raw
milk is sold. These premises were kept under strict observation, 376
inspections being made.
The standard of cleanliness in cowsheds, milkshops and other premises
where milk is dealt with has been well maintained.
II persons (including 6 itinerant vendors) were registered as retail
purveyors of milk, 4 of these being on account of change of ownership
of premises.
