Milk Supply.
On this subject I repeat "There are no cowsheds in use in
the Borough, therefore all milk is imported and, as I have before
stated: 'the greater bulk is distributed by three or four large firms
who have adopted the latest hygienic methods of storing and
cleansing. They have also their own Inspectorate, who take frequent
samples from the milk carriers to ensure the milk being
delivered as it comes from the cow.
" 'An increasing number of consumers is being supplied with
their milk—much of it sterilised or pasteurised—in capsuled
bottles, thus avoiding any contamination in transit or in the
house.' "
Dairies.
There are 113 registered premises for the sale of milk in the
Borough. This number includes a few shops other than dairies
where milk is sold.
These premises have been periodically inspected and are
maintained in good condition.
