Milk. Milk & Dairies Regulations, 1949-1954
The handling and retail distribution of milk in urban areas
has become a concentrated and well organised industry. Apart
from small quantities bottled on the farms, milk is collected in
the distant producing areas and transported in bulk to large processing
plants situate in the consuming centres where it is pasteurised
or sterilised and bottled for sale by a comparatively few large
dairy companies.
Residents in this district rely in the main on these sources of
supply, there being only one registered dairy now operating in the
Council's area.
General control by the Department is exercised under the
above regulations and only pasteurised, tuberculin tested or
sterilised milk can be sold in the district as a result of a Special
Designations Order made in 1951.
The entries in the register, which has to be kept, were as
follows:—
