Only one of the nine licences issued for cowhouses in
the Borough was renewed at the end of the year. In this
instance, although the cowshed is licensed for 36 cows, only
12 are kept. Prior to the last war, over 400 cows were
maintained in cowhouses in the Borough. A sample of bulk
milk was taken from the cowshed and submitted for examination
for tuberculosis by guinea pig inoculation. The sample
proved to be negative to tuberculosis.
Thirtythree samples of milk were taken in course of
delivery to schools, hospitals and institutions etc. in the
Borough. Twentysix of the samples were taken in course of
delivery to hospitals and institutions, 4 to schools, 2 to
L.C.C. Meals Centres and 1 to a Day Nursery. All the
samples were submitted for chemical analyses and were found
to be genuine.
Thirtynine licences were issued under the Milk (Special
Designations) Regulations, 1936-1946, as follows:-
