Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
Milkshops.
All the milkshops on the register have been inspected during
the year, and the register has been carefully revised with the
result that it was found that a large number of the smaller dealers
had given up selling milk. The actual number on the register in
1903 was 286, 30 having been added to and four removed from the
register during the year.
In all, 523 inspections were made of these premises, and in
60 notices were served, chiefly for cleansing works.
Ice Cream Premises.
At the close of 1902 there were 129 premises on the register
where Ice Cream was manufactured, 39 were added during the
year and 10 removed, leaving 158 premises on the register.
309 inspections of these were made during the year and 48
notices were served. The regulations with regard to the manufacture
of Ice Cream have proved of decided utility, all the known
premises where this commodity is prepared being now in a satisfactory
condition.
