ORDER, 1923.
The following licenses were granted during 1926:—
One to bottle and sell and nine to sell Grade "A" (Tuberculin
Tested) Milk, including one supplementary licence; nine
to sell "Certified" Milk; one to bottle and sell and three to
sell Grade "A" Milk; one to Pasteurise and sell.
Thirty-eight samples of milk (in addition to 53 samples of
ordinary milk) were submitted for Bacteriological Examination,
the results being as follows:—
Grade "A" (Tuberculin Tested). Pasteurised.
Upto Standard. Below Standard. Upto Standard. Below Standard.
8 6 18 6
In the case of the 6 samples of Grade "A" (Tuberculin
Tested) Milk and 6 samples of Pasteurised Milk which failed to
pass the standard, these were obtained from the same Dealer,
and letters pointing out the result of the Bacteriologist's
Examination, and also to the seriousness of the offence, were
sent.
A comparison with the results of the samples taken during
1925 will show that improvement has taken place in the
standard of Graded Milk sold in the Borough.
One Vendor was prosecuted for selling Graded Milk
without the sanction of the Local Authority.
