Four samples of milk were taken for bacteriological examination
by the Counties Public Health Laboratories. All four
samples were certified to comply with the bacterial standard of
the various grades of milk.
Early in the year I visited a large dairy farm at Ongar and
examined the records of the bacteriological examination of the
milk from a large herd of cattle, all of which milk comes into
this Borough, and found the condition quite satisfactory.
At the suggestion of an Inspector of the Ministry of Health
arrangements have now been made for a larger number of
samples to be taken, under this head in future.
