DAIRIES, COWSHEDS, AND MILKSHOPS ORDERS.
At the end of the year there were in the Borough 1,136 registered premises
where milk is sold, which included 34 cowsheds. Nine premises were removed from
the register, due to their unsuitability, and 71 were refused registration for a similar
reason. 135 premises were registered conditionally, but they were mostly transfers.
Each shop was considered on its merits and certain conditions were imposed before
it was registered.
The conditions for every new registration generally included that—
(1) The shop, milk receptacles and utensils must be kept scrupulously
clean. The milk must also be kept in a cleanly condition.
(2) The milk must be covered by a proper ventilated cover ; paper, muslin,
or a plain board is not allowed.
(3) Boxes of minerals, or other boxes, sacks, bags, &c., must not be allowed
to remain on the floor, but raised on shelves at least a foot from the
floor. This allows the floor to be swept, otherwise it would only be
swept when the sacks or boxes became empty and dirt would
accumulate under and behind them.
(4) The shop floor must be swept and scrubbed frequently.
(5) The shelves must be kept free from dust.
(6) No paraffin, coal, coke, or vegetables, are to be sold.
