Annual Report of the London County Council, 1910.
Administration.
Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops.
Cowshed
premises
The County Council received during the year 203 applications for cowhouse licences, of which
199 were granted. The number of applications for licences received during the last seventeen years
and the number granted are shown in the following table.
It will be seen that the number of these premises in London is continually decreasing.

Milkshop
premises
In 1903 effort was made, in conjunction with the medical officers of health of metropolitan
boroughs, to secure uniform statistical statement of the proceedings of the local authorities in London.
Tables showing these proceedings included in this report have therefore, in the main, been compiled
from tabular statements in the annual reports of medical officers of health, or from figures otherwise
contained in their reports or specially furnished by them.
The following table relating to cowsheds
has been thus prepared:—
| Metropolitan borough. | Number of cowshed premises. | Number of inspections by the sanitary authority. 1910. | Number of prosecutions by sanitary authority, 1910. | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
