Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milkshops.
During the year four persons applied for registration
in connection with the transferring of dairy businesses.
The number of cowsheds in the Borough remain
as heretofore, namely, five. These have been
kept in good condition throughout the year. The
number of cows kept during the year has been at
times below 150, and these, to all external appearance,
are in good condition.
During the year, one large cowshed, the interior
of which was re-mode'led and brought up to as near
a model cowshed as was practicable to do so.
The number of milkshops on the Register is fortyeight.
These have been visited as usual. In connection
with one milkshop, this was closed the greater
part of the year; the last person applying for registration
to carry on the trade as a purveyor of milk was a
phthisical patient. Needless to say, the application
was refused. The plea put forward on behalf of the'
patient was that it was light work, and it would keep
the patient out in the air.
