Two other samples of milk were reported to be of
inferior quality, but there did not appear to be sufficient
grounds to justify legal proceedings.
I am pleased to say that of the ten samples of
butter and lard, only two of the latter were reported
as being suspicious.
It will be observed that the number of samples is
comparatively small as compared with previous years.
This is due to the fact that the quality of food sold in
the District has maintained an exceptionally good
standard, rendering expenditure in the analysis of
food unnecessary; further, the Medical Officer desires
a systematic inspection of dairies, etc., in order that
the best possible attention should be devoted to the
food supply.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN H. CLARKE,
Inspector.
