Milk Supply.
All domestic supplies of milk are sold in sealed bottles or cartons bearing
a designation. Except for very small quantities of raw Tuberculin Tested milk from
Attested Herds, all milk is heat treated.
Although a large number of shop keepers are registered to sell milk, the
greater proportion of milk supplied to domestic consumers is delivered to the door
through twenty of the registered distributors.
Samples of milk have been taken from shops and deliverymen for the purpose
of checking quality, purity and bacteriological cleanliness. Samples are also
taken on delivery from supplies to schools.
During the year 142 inspections were made of premises from which milk is
distributed Conditions on the whole were found to be satisfactory.
