Milkshops.
At the close of 1909 there were 331 milkshops on the Register,
36 have been added in 1910 and 31 removed, leaving 336 on the
Register at the end of 1910.
During the year 995 inspections were made of these
premises and 44 notices, chiefly for cleansing, were served.
Five prosecutions were instituted for carrying on the business
of a dairyman without being registered, and fines amounting to
£5 were imposed, with £.2 15s. costs.
The safes provided by purveyors of milk who also sell
general goods, have proved very satisfactory in preventing the
pollution of the milk, and these purveyors are still of opinion that
their provision has effected a decided improvement.
