FOOD SUPPLY.
Milk.
There are now 292 milkshops on the register, or 28 less
than at the end of 1905, the decrease being due to the efforts
made to induce small dealers with unsuitable premises to discontinue
the sale of milk. An amendment of the law with
regard to the registration of milkshops is necessary, as at
present there is no power to refuse the registration of a milkseller,
although the milkshop may be unsuitable for the purpose,
and the Council have requested the London County
Council to insert in its next General Powers Bill, provisions
conferring powers on local authorities to enable them to prohibit
the sale of milk on unsuitable premises.
All the milkshops in the Borough were visited at frequent
intervals by the Food Inspector.
