INCREASE OF RENT AND MORTGAGE INTEREST
RESTRICTIONS ACTS.
The number of applications for certificates under
Section 2 (2) of the principal Act remains low—there being
three only during 1934. The experience of this Borough in
this matter is not unusual for it appears to be general
throughout the country. For some reason not at all clear,
tenants do not avail themselves of the opportunities afforded
by the Acts.
In two cases only during 1934, certificates were granted
to applicants.
The house referred to in the other application was
inspected and found to be in reasonable repair.
There were three applications during 1933.
INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD
(a) MILK SUPPLY.
During 1934 three names were removed from the
Register of Dairymen owing to business changes. Eleven
fresh entries were added to the Register leaving a total of
71 at the end of the year compared with 63 at the end of
1933. This continued increase is due to the practice of small
shops selling milk in bottles unopened as received on the
premises. The shop in such a case is not a dairy but the
person selling the milk has to be registered.
There is only one cowkeeper in the borough.
Graded Milks.
There is no licensed graded milk producer in the
borough, but twenty-nine dealers' licenses (including supplementary
licenses) for the sale of graded milk were issued
during the year.
