The Milk and Dairies Order, 1926.
Much attention was again directed to this Order during the
year with a view to minimising the risk of contamination, infection
and alteration of the milk supply of the town, and there is a marked
improvement in this direction.
The Milk and Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922.
One purveyor of milk—having his premises outside this town
—sold to your Chief Sanitary Inspector a bottle of milk to which
the vendor referred as pasteurised milk. The vendor was not
licensed to sell pasteurised milk, and in fact the milk was not
pasteurised.
Four summonses were issued arising out of this sale—two
against father and son as joint defendants for referring to the milk
as pasteurised contrary to Section 3 of the above Act, and two
against the same defendants for not being registered with the
Walthamstow Borough Council as purveyors of milk contrary to
Section 6 (3) of the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926.
A conviction was obtained on each count, and is recorded under
"Legal Procedure."
One purveyor of milk was refused registration by reason of the
condition of his premises. There was no appeal against the
Council's refusal.
In addition to the foregoing, three purveyors of milk were
warned by the Council for infringements under the Milk and
Dairies (Consolidation) Act, 1915.
The Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923.

Bottling Licences:—
In respect of Grade A (T.T.) Milk, 2; Pasteurised Milk, 4.
