purveyors of milk. Twenty of these registrations were in respect
of premises owned by one company and used as places for the sale
or distribution of bottled pasteurised milk received from the
Central Depot in another district. During the year 12 purveyors
of milk were registered with respect to premises used for other
purposes to retail milk in sealed receptacles only, 4 new purveyors
of milk were registered for premises purchased from others who
were on the register and 2 with premises in other districts were
registered to retail milk within the Borough. One new purveyor
was registered and one milk producer, with a cowshed fitted with a
properly equipped dairy, who had formerly carried on a wholesale
trade, was registered as a retail purveyor. One retail purveyor of
milk discontinued his business, and one shopkeeper ceased to retail
milk, their names being taken off the register as retail purveyors
of milk. One dairy was demolished, new premises being erected
a short distance away from the original site.
