During the year forty-two applications were
received for permission to sell bottled sterilised milk
from premises which were not suitable for registration
as dairies. The registrations were granted, provided
the milk was not to be sold otherwise than in the
properly closed and unopened receptacles in which it
was delivered to the premises. The sale of milk in
shops other than dairies has been increased recently
owing to the introduction of sealed cartons instead
of bottles.
