The following table shows the number of licences granted during the year for
the sale of graded milks under the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1936:—
Tuberculin Tested 11
Pasteurised 16
A licence was granted to one local firm for the bottling of Tuberculin Tested
Milk, and one for the treatment and sale of milk as "pasteurised."
(b) Ice-Cream—Barking Corporation Act, 1933—Section 160.—There are 114
vendors registered, in accordance with this Act, of which 35 are manufacturers
with premises in Barking. Fourteen vendors had premises outside the district.
There was an increase of 15 in the number of registered premises, but the increase
was confined to shops from which ice-cream is sold but not manufactured.
Many of the shops are supplied from one source with pre-packed containers and
sampling is therefore directed to control the main supplies, rather than the individual
vendors.
The general standard of cleanliness has been good.
Forty samples were submitted for bacteriological examination, five of which
were unsatisfactory.
2. MEAT AND OTHER FOODS.
(a) Meat.—There is one licensed slaughterhouse in the district. This licence
is renewable annually. The premises are situated in the centre of the town and
in view of the changing circumstances and developments taking place it may be
that the Council will be considering the continuance of slaughtering at these
premises.
The slaughterhouse was well conducted during the year.

* Includes 404 lambs. † Includes 199 lambs.
