One cannot help feeling that the time has arrived when
some at least of the new properties should be made available
for occupants of old worn out houses. If this course were to
be followed it should be possible to provide new accommodation
on some of the cleared sites in the Borough. Such procedure
would serve to remove the sense of frustration which is
possessed by tenants of old properties who have had none of
the modern conveniences and appliances provided for new-comers
in the new houses. A gradual clearance of old houses could
thus be accomplished.

INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD
Section E
(a) Milk Supply.
All milk supplies in the town are brought in from
outside sources of supply, there being no milch herds in the.
Borough. All known sources of supply are regularly sampled.
the quality generally has proved to be satisfactory. So far
as is known, all the milk supplied to Kingston residents is
pasteurised, but. a small amount of untreated tuberculin tested
milk is sold in the Borough. the rest of the raw milk which
enters the Borough is pasteurised in local dairies before
delivery to consumers.
