5.—PROVISION OF MILK AND OTHER FOODS TO
NECESSITOUS MOTHERS AND CHILDREN.
In each case dealt with, every form of assistance was taken into
account, including, of course, that given by the Guardians. Milk
supplied free of cost to necessitous cases involved the Council in an
expenditure of £1,468 7s. 4d. for cows' milk and £429 3s. Id. in
respect of dried milk.
The applications dealt with for milk numbered 3,794, and those
for milk food amounted to 1,185.
