INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD AND
FOOD PREMISES.
The food premises of the Borough are kept under observation
both as to their sanitary condition and cleanliness and the condition
and soundness of the food stored, sold or prepared for sale, by two
Food Inspectors, who visit the butchers, slaughter-houses, markets,
dairies, etc., and generally by the District Sanitary Inspectors.
MILK SUPPLY.
Milk and Dairies Order, 1926, Milk and Dairies (Amendment)
Act, 1922.—The Borough Council is required by the provisions of
the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926, to keep registers of all persons
carrying on in the Borough the trade of cowkeeper or dairyman and
of all premises in the Borough which are used as dairies and, subject
to the provisions of Section 2 of the Milk and Dairies (Amendment)
Act, 1922, the Council on the application of any person proposing to
carry on in the district any of the above-mentioned trades shall
register such person or such premises. Section 2 of the Milk and
Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922, gives power to the Council to refuse
registration of, or remove from the register, retailers of milk if it
is satisfied that the public health is likely to be endangered by any
act or default of any retailer who is registered or seeks to be
registered, but before such removal or refusal becomes operative
the person concerned must have had an opportunity to appear before
the Council to show cause why such removal or refusal should not be
made and, furthermore, when the matter has been finally determined
by the Council the applicant may still carry on business for a further
21 days.
One applicant was refused registration during the year.
