INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD
Milk Supply.—Practically all the milk for retail sale is
brought into the area from other districts. A few cows are
kept by private individuals for milk, but such milk is not
retailed. There were one cowkeeper, thirty-eight dairymen,
fourteen dairymen and purveyors, and thirteen retail purveyors
on the registers on 31st December, 1932.
Frequent periodical inspections of the dairies were made.
The conditions under which the milk is stored and distributed
were found to be satisfactory.
A number of dairymen residing outside the Borough
were found to be retailing milk in Wimbledon without having
been registered by this Authority. The purveyors were
informed of these contraventions, and as a result of this,
applications for registration were received. In all cases
registration was granted.
It was not necessary to take any action under the Milk
and Dairies Order, 1926, during the year.
No action was necessary as to tuberculous milk or cattle.
The number of licences granted under the Milk (Special
Designations) Order, 1923, was as follows:—
Pasteuriser's Licence 1
Dealers Licences:
Certified Milk 4
Grade A (T.T.) Milk 4
Grade A Milk 2
Pasteurised Milk 1
Supplementary Licences 10
Bacteriological Examination.—All the samples of milk
taken for this purpose were found to be satisfactory.

One slaughterhouse, which had not been used for this
purpose for a period of four years, was removed from the
Register.
