An application for permission to establish fat-melting in Sugar
House Lane was made by Mr. Zweig, but permission was not granted.
Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milkshops Order. — There
are 21 cowsheds in the Borough, and the Inspectors of Nuisances
report 59 visits to cowsheds during the year. With regard to milkshops
314 were visited. The latter are constantly changing, both in
occupation and registration. In the majority the amount of milk
sold is extremely small and does not, in my opinion, justify the vendor
in running the risk of prosecution under the Sale of Food and Drugs
Act.
Veterinary Surgeon's Report.—Examinations (principally
for tuberculous disease of the udder) were made of 322 cows,
comprising all which are kept in the Borough for the supply of milk
to the public.
The location of the cows examined was as under:—
