Of the above 155 samples of Pasteurised milk, 29 were
taken at the schools of the County Education Authority, and all
of these samples were found to comply with the standard
specified in the Milk (Special Designation) Orders 1936/1938.
25 samples of Pasteurised milk were also submitted to the
Phosphatase test and reported satisfactory.
Of the above 26 samples which were not up to standard, 7
were of milk bottled within the Borough, and 19 were bottled
in other districts. In the latter cases the attention of the officers
of the local authority of the district in which the milk was
bottled was drawn to the unsatisfactory report.
COWSHEDS.
Owing to the continual building development, there
remained at the end of the year only one farm producing milk
for sale, this farm being licensed by the County Council for the
production of Accredited milk. 17 visits were paid to cowsheds
and the methods of production found to be satisfactory. 9
samples of milk were taken for examination from this one
remaining farm and all of them were found to comply with the
standard prescribed in the Milk (Special Designations) Orders
1936 & 1938.
