Sixty-nine samples of the various grades
of milk were examined to check bacterial cleanliness
and the efficiency of any heat treatment process to
which they had been subjected. All these sampler
were satisfactory. Samples were also taken of
washed bottles from the dairy where milk is bottled
and these were of a satisfactory standard.
WATER SUPPLY.
The water supply of the District is provided
by the Barnet Urban District Water Company, except
for a few houses in the South Ward which are supplied
from the mains of the Metropolitan Water Board. All
the houses in the District have a piped supply.
No complaints concerning the water supply
were received.
Bacteriological and chemical examinations
of the water were made at frequent intervals, and the
following is typical of the reports received:-
"This is a very satisfactory
sample. It is clear and bright
in appearance and of the highest
standard of bacterial purity
indicative of a wholesome water
suitable for public supply purposes."
