MILKSH0PS.
At the close of 1904 there were 286 milkshops on the Register,
59 have been added in 1905 and 43 removed, leaving 302 on the
Register at the end of 1905.
During the year 675 inspections were made of these premises and
67 notices, chiefly for cleansing, were served. Two prosecutions were
taken for occupying premises without being registered and in both
cases fines were inflicted.
Special attention has been given this year to the enforcing of the
Milkshop Regulations, and the notice of all registered purveyors of
milk was called to the regulations which deal with the protection of
milk against infection or contamination.
