![SANITARY INSPECTOR’S REPORT, 1930. To Dr. G. A. Dawson, M.D., D.P.H., Medical Officer of Health, Comity l^oroiigh of Darlington. Dear Sik, I herewith submit for your consideration my Animal Report for the year 1080. As formerly, a very considerable amount of time has been exjiended in Food Insjiection. The rcsidts, appended later, am])ly justify this activity. In October of last year, owing to the Rorough extension, 17 Cowsheds, 2 Slaughter- houses, and 2 jiremises of Offensive Trades were added to the number of these premises. The effective .administration of the Milk and Dairies Order, 1026, with respect to these 17 Cowsheds and Dairies was found to be a great strain uj)on so small a staff. However, the Order is working well, with a total absence of friction, and I am sure the cpiantity of reasonably clean milk now sup])lied in the Rorough from our Cowsheds and Dairies, including these latter 17 extra ones, is greatly increased. There are about 8,800 gallons of milk ])cr day consumed in the Rorough— Ii of this, about 1,000 gallons ])er day are Pasteurised, and the various Bacteriological examinations prove this sujiply to be of excellent quality. The quantity of milk produced in the Rorough and therefore under our direct control is 750 gallons ])er day. The ! Inspectors have paid regular and frecpicnt visits to all the (T)w- \ sheds and Dairies and have endeavoured to educate the jiroducers I in hygienic methods. Whilst this was much resented at liEst. : it is welcomed now.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29149125_0093.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
