was given notice, as required by Section 2 of the Milk and Daires (Amendment) Act, 1922, to
appear before the Public Health Committee to show cause why his application for registration
should not be refused but he failed to attend the meeting and discontinued retailing milk in the
Borough.
No contraventions of Article 31 (2) of the Milk and Dairies Order, 11)26, which requires
that the bottling of milk shall be carried out only on registered premises were reported during
the year under review. This is due in large measure, to the fact that very few dairymen carry
" loose " milk in hand-cans or churns.
There were on the register at the end of 1936, 107 dairymen occupying 107 registered
dairies within the Borough. In addition, there were 29 dairymen retailing milk in Fulham
from premises situated and registered in adjoining districts.
The following are details of the changes which took place during 1936: —
No of Dairymen on the Register: —
No. on Register at 31st December 1035 112
No. who transferred their business or discontinued selling milk
during the year 1036 13

The sale of milk in properly closed and unopened receptacles from premises not registered
as a dairy has been held to make it compulsory for such shopkeepers to be registered as dairymen.
The expression "dairy" as defined in the Milk and Dairies (Consolidation) Act, 1015, includes
"a milk store, milk shop, or other place from which milk is supplied on, or for, sale or in which"
milk is kept or used for the purpose of sale or manufacture into butter, cheese, dried milk or condensed
milk for sale and in the case of a purveyor of milk who does not occupy any premises
for the sale of milk, includes the place where he keeps the vessels used by him for the sale of
milk, but does not include a shop from which milk is not supplied otherwise than in the properly
closed and unopened receptacles in which it was delivered to the shop, or a shop or other place
in which milk is sold for consumption on the premises only."
The expression "dairyman" includes any occupier of a dairy or any purveyor of milk and
the expression " purveyor of milk " includes a seller of milk, whether wholesale or by retail.
During 1936, registration as purveyors of milk in properly closed and unopened receptacles
was granted to seventeen persons and there arc now 162 names on the Register.
