proper up-keep of the premises and plant, and for the renewal
of bottles, teats, &c.
The Lambeth Milk Depot is run on the lines of the French
type, viz., strict medical supervision, discriminating and careful
distribution of the milk to infants who cannot be breast-fed, and
the systematic, medical, and clinical study of the effect of the

London County Council suggest that for the County of London
future milk depots that may be established should be run on
the Lambeth lines. (For further particulars, vide Appendix

The contents of the Milk Depot are insured against fire for
the sum of £500, and the boiler and steriliser for £40 and
£60 respectively.
