INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
Milk Supply.—-There are 2 wholesale dealers and 236 retail milk purveyors in this district.
Their premises and utensils are frequently inspected.
In addition there are 47 milk sellers whose premises are situate outside Willesden.
The following table shows the number of licences granted for the sale of graded milk under
the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923, during the year 1935

There were no refusals or revocations of licences under the Milk (Special Designations) Order
1923, during the year.
Thirteen samples of designated milks were examined during the year. All of these were
satisfactory.
Forty-eight samples of milk (including two "Pasteurised" were taken during the year for
examination for the presence of tubercle bacilli under the Milk and Dairies (Consolidation) Act, 1915.
One sample (No. 0/398), representing 2 per cent. of the total number sampled, was found to
contain tubercle bacilli, and action was taken resulting in an examination of the herd at the supplying
farm situate in the county of Staffordshire.
The other 47 samples showed no evidence of tuberculosis.
The following are particulars of the positive sample
0/398.—Herd belonging to producer examined by veterinary surgeon. Samples of milk were
submitted for examination from three individual cows together with a bulk sample
from the remainder of the herd which proved negative.
Veterinary Surgeon who investigated the case reported that two cows were sold
for slaughter shortly after the positive sample was taken; it seems likely that one of
these cows was the offending animal.
Meat Inspection.—The Inspectors visit the slaughter-houses at the times set apart for
slaughtering and examine the carcases and organs for evidence of disease. Shops and stalls are
also kept under close observation.
