Notices of intention to apply to the London County Council for the renewal
of these licenses were duly received by the Sanitary Authority, and no opposition
having been raised the licenses were granted for the year ending the 31st
October, 1910, by the Public Health Committee of the London County Council
at their meeting at the Clerkenwell Sessions House on the 25th October, 1909.
The premises have been under constant supervision, and no action has been
necessary in connection with them during the year.
MILK SUPPLY.
Cowhouses.—The number of cowhouses in the Borough is small—five—most
of the milk coming into the district from outside.
The situation of the premises is as follows:—
| Premises. | No. of Cows. |
|---|---|
| 58, Acacia Road (Sheds Nos 1, 2 and 3) | 44 |
| 56, Bell Street | 15 |
| *42A, Clipstone Street | 10 |
| 26, John Street | 14 |
| 3, Malthouse Mews | 22 |
| Total | 105 |
| *This license is granted on the undertaking of the licensee not to keep more than 10 cows on the premises. | |
Application for renewal of these licenses is made annually, and the Borough
Council having raised no objection the renewals were granted by the licensing
authority, the London County Council.
As a matter of fact, though, as the above table shows, the sheds are licensed for 105 cows, at the time of the annual inspection only 41 were actually stabled, as follows:—
| Premises. | No. of Cows. |
|---|---|
| 58, Acacia Road | 7 |
| 56, Bell Street | 7 |
| 42A, Clipstone Street | 10 |
| 26, John Street | 3 |
| 3, Malthouse Mews | 14 |
| Total | 41 |
The premises were regularly and frequently visited during the year. In no
case was it found necessary to issue notices with regard either to cleansing or
nuisances.
Milks/tops, etc.—The number of premises upon which milk is sold is 264.
During the year 31 applications were received for registration, of which three
