BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS.
Thirty-five samples of Milk were procured for bacteriological
examination. Thirty-two of these samples were certified by the
Counties Public Health Laboratories to comply with the bacterial
standards of the respective grades.
Of the remaining three samples, two and one respectively
were taken from firms of high reputation. Upon examination of
their records, it was found that these were exceptional cases;
every care was taken to secure perfect cleanliness.
During the year I visited a 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.
