The vehicles and storage premises used by

Ice Cream.
There are sixty-three premises in the district
registered for the sale of ice-cream, and this number
includes three premises approved for the purpose for
the first time during the year. None of the occupiers
make ice cream and most sell it in the pre-wrapped or
packed state as supplied by the manufacturers so that
handling and thereby risk of contamination is at a
minimum.
All the 45 samples which were examined were
of a satisfactory standard.
Milk.
Th6 milk supplied in Friern Barnet is either
pasteurised, sterilised, or tuberculin-tested, since
the district is in a 'specified area' in which all milk
sold is required to be of one or other of these grades.
There are twenty-two companies or persons
registered as distributors of milk in the district, and
one registered dairy at which milk is pasteurised and
bottled.
The following licences were issued:
