Milk (Mothers and Children) Order,
The table below gives the number of families who were in
receipt of assistance under the provisions of the above-named

milks sold below cost price or given free whether ordered at the
Voluntary Centres or at the Municipal Centre. All wet milk
ordered under cost price is also paid for by the Council.
