MILKSELLLERS.
At the close of the year there were 266 registered retailers
end wholesalers in the Borough, whilst the number of retailers and
wholesalers purveying milk in the Borough but registered elsewhere was
68.
MILK (SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS) ORDERS, 1956-1943.
Applications were received and Dealers Licenses were
granted authorising the use of the special designation "Pasteurised"
in 23 cases, whilst Dealers Licenses authorising the use of the
special designation "Tuberculin Tested" were granted to 7 applicants.
Ten supplementary Licenses in respect of "Pasteurised" Milk
and four in respect of "Tuberculin Tested" Milk were granted to
dealers selling from premises outside the Borough, principal licenses
having been issued by the appropriate licensing authorities in each
case.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
There was no serious outbreak of infectious disease in the
Borough during the year 1943, although there was a considerable
increase in the number of notifications received in respect of
scarlet fever. This increase however was not necessarily local but
of widespread character and owing to the shortage of bed accommodation
in the infectious hospitals, in all cases where it was possible to
nurse patients at home, arrangements for isolation were made accordingly.
