Smoke Abatement
Observations were taken throughout the year; no serious cases
of pollution were recorded.
Bacteriological Sampling of Milk
During the year 84 samples of milk were submitted for
examination and two were found to be unsatisfactory.
When The Milk (Special Designations) (Specified Areas) Order,
1951 came into force on the 1st October, the use of special designations
for retail sales of milk in the Borough became compulsory.
This meant that all milk sold by retail must be Pasteurised,
Accredited, Tuberculin-Tested or Sterilised.
Three small retailers had certain adjustments to make to comply
with the Order.
Ice Cream
Bacteriological Sampling. During the year 44 samples of ice
cream were submitted for analysis and three were found to be
unsatisfactory.
Registration of Premises. During the year seven applications
for the storage and sale of ice cream were granted. In all cases
the provision on the premises of running hot water is required.
Where conditions are not considered altogether satisfactory for the
sale of loose ice cream registration has been restricted to the storage
and sale of ice cream "contained in containers of such materials and
so closed as to exclude all risk of contamination."
An itinerant vendor was summoned and convicted for selling
ice cream with a fat content of only 3.7% (the minimum was 5%).
