The Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923.-Under this Order 32 applications
were received from 9 dealers in the borough for licence to sell milk as
"Certified" Milk, or Grade "A" Tuberculin Tested Milk or "Pasteurised" Milk.
As the milk in each case was obtained from a producer licensed under the
Order and the premises of the applicants were found to be satisfactory, licences
were granted as appropriate, the numbers being 9 ini respect of "Certified" Milk,
5 for Grade "A" Tuberculin Tested Milk, and 18 "Pasteurised" Milk. In
accordance with the instructions of the Ministry 53 samples were taken during
the year and submitted to the Council's Bacteriologist, Dr. A. G. R. Foulerton.
Copies of the reports were duly forwarded to the Ministry.

followed as in former years. The amount expended in the year ended 31st March,
1929, was £253 2s. 9d. as against £348 12s. l1d. up to 31st March, 1928.
The actual number of cases dealt with was 188, and the number of orders issued
828.
B._FOODS OTHER THAN MILK.
Food Inspection.-There was no change in the method of carrying out the
work of food inspection during the year. The special week-end inspections in
market streets, etc., were continued, and in carrying them out Inspector Simtli
received the assistance of other members of the staff having the necessary
qualifications and experience.
On a great many occasions the inspector was called by vendors to examine
articles of food under Section 47 (8) of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, and
to accept surrender of such as were unsound or unwholesome or unfit for food.
The articles dealt with in this way are set out below.
