CONSUMPTION OF MILK IN WEMBLEY.
At the end of the year the co-operation of the trade
was readily given in an effort to ascertain the average daily
consumption of milk by the inhabitants, and the percentage
of the various milks received in the homes. It would
appear that the average daily consumption of milk in
Wembley is about .7 pint per person.
It is more easy to obtain the percentages of the various
milks, and the investigation showed that 92.6 per cent of
the milk delivered in Wembley is either Tuberculin Tested
Pasteurised, or Sterilised. The percentage of the milk
delivered which was pasteurised was 89.13 per cent.
COWSHEDS.
At one time a very large quantity of milk was produced
in Wembley, but in 1936 only four farms produced milk for
sale, one of which was licensed for the production of Certified
Milk and one for the production of Grade A Milk.
Twenty-six visits were paid to these cowsheds, which
were found to be kept in a satisfactory condition.
DAIRIES AND MILK SHOPS.
All of these premises were inspected regularly and
generally found to comply with the Milk and Dairies Order,
1926. In the case of all dairies a steam plant is provided
for sterilising the utensils and containers used in the trade.
During 1936, 200 visits were paid to these premises.
