INSPECTION AND SUPEBVISION OF FOOD.
Milk Supply.
Dairies and Milkshops.—The Milk and Dairies Order, 1926,
requires the Council to keep a register of premises where milk is
sold or deposited for sale, and also the names of persons registered
as dairymen or purveyors of milk. Premises from which only
bottled milk is sold are not required to be registered, but this
exemption from registration does not apply to the proprietor of
such premises.
During 1929 there were 44 transfers, 64 purveyors and premises
removed, and 66 purveyors and premises added to the
register by resolution of the Public Health Committee. As a
result of these alterations on December 31st, 1920, 471 dairymen
and premises were registered for the sale of milk, of which 54 were
registered for the sale of milk in sealed bottles only.
The Sanitary Inspectors made 1,555 inspections of dairies
and milkshops during the year, and in 22 instances notices were
served for sanitary defects.
Cowkeepers.—There is one registered cowshed in this Borough
with accommodation for 47 cows.
The average number of cows kept at the premises during the
year was 38.
