PRESERVED FOOD AND ICE CREAM.
On page 67 of the Annual Report for 1932 the registration of premises in respect
of these articles was fully dealt with. In 1933 158 premises were on the register for
preserved food; 8 were registered during the course of the year. The total on the
register at the end of the year, therefore, was 166.
The number of ice cream premises in 1933 was 408. All of these continued in
1934; 40 additional were registered, so that the ice cream premises on the register
totalled 448 at the end of the year.

MILK AND DAIRIES ORDER, 1926.
Milk Purveyors and Dairies.—At the close of the year there were on the
register : 401 dairies. There were also in the borough 360 premises, from which milk
in sealed containers was being purveyed. The latter premises are not subject to the
provisions of the Milk & Dairies Order 1926, in view of the definition of the word
"dairy" in Art. 19 of the Milk & Dairies (Consolidation) Act, 1915. The person
occupying the premises is, however, registered as a purveyor of milk.
During the year, five premises were added to, and seven premises removed
from, the Register of dairies, while 30 purveyors' names were added to, and one name
removed from, the Register of the purveyors of milk. The occupiers of the dairies
are ipso facto registered purveyors of milk.
The number of dairies in the Borough has been appreciably reduced by the fact
that two of the largest businesses have ceased to sell loose milk over the counters of
their various premises, the milk being now sold in sealed bottles as delivered from the
bottling depot. The United Dairies (London), Ltd., have made this alteration in
18 premises in Islington, and the Express Dairy Co., Ltd., in 7 ; the latter firm, also,
has closed two premises entirely.
Where a change of occupation of a milkshop or dairy has been effected, or where
it is proposed to open a new business, each has been visited by the Superintendent,
the total number of visits for the year being 48.
