Bag Flock and Other Filling Materials Act, 1951
This Act, reported upon under New Legislation, did not involve this
Department in much additional work, for up to the end of the year the
number of premises registered was one.
Slaughter of Animals Act, 1933
One licence was issued during the year, that being issued to the local
Inspector of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The Milk and Dairies Regulations, 1949
Because it was noted that crates of bottles filled with milk were being
deposited on the grass verges of several roads, a report was made to the
Public Health Committee, as an infringement of the Regulations had been
committed.
The Committee took a serious view of the offence, but because it was a
first offence they decided to give a warning to the firm concerned. The
practice ceased, for at that time the firm were taking delivery of large electric
trucks for retail delivery.
