The Borough Council is now responsible for the periodical
inspection of the Cowhouses, and the due enforcement of all
Bye-laws and Regulations which have been made in connection
therewith under the Dairies, Ccwsheds, and Milk-shops
Orders, 1885-86-99. Such duties were carried out by the
London County Council previous to the passing of the London
Government Act, 1899. During 1908, no action has been
taken in regard to infringement of Byelaws before the
Magistrate.
Two Cowhouses have changed hands during 1908, viz., 34
Ingleton Street to Frederick and Sarah Amelia Baker (vice
Henry Baker, deceased), and 93 Clive Road, West Ncrwood
to Wraight, Dumbrill & Co., Ltd. (vice Sidney Adna
Benjafield).
DAIRIES, MILK SHOPS AND MILKSTORES.
21 new Milk-shops and Milk-stores have been registered
during 1908, as compared with 33 during 1907, and all existing
ones have been, from time to time, under inspection,
as required. The total number registered up to date is 544.
