rilHE importance of dairy farms being furnished wUh an A adequate water supply, and the provision of proper washing facUities for farm workers were mentioned by Dr. J. H. Fairweather, Medical Officer of Health to CUthetoe, Rural District Council in his report pf ja Health Congress held at Brighton recently under tbe auspices of the Royal


Sanitary Institute. I t was considered essential


tha t workers should be pro­ vided with hot water, soap, clean towels and nail brushes so .that hands could be washed between milking each cow and it was deemed necessary tha t milkers should be provided with washable cotton overalls and caps, and the washiiig of • cows’ udders with clean cloths and water was stressed. The steam sterilisation of utensils every day was preferable to chemical methods. Dr. Fair- weather said the Congress recommended th a t sampling


1 should be done a t the farm. ■ All milk should be of the highest Standard, and even if it was to be pasteurised that did hot lessen the importance of cleanliness. Pasteurisation could not make dirty milk clean. lOnly in ' rare Instances were bonslstently gdod milk samples obtained when build­ ings were in a poor condition, and i even then only on small farms Iwhere the farmer and his family did the milking. Lancashire lagged behind in

Under the Bill local authorities would be able to make improvement grants “to private owners for improving- houses or provid­ ing ' dwellings by the conver­ sion ■ of houses or other buildings.” The grant would not exceed half the cost, and the resulting dwelling must provide suitable accommoda­ tion for at least 30 years, and confirm to Ministry standards. The minimum granf would be £100 with a maximum of £600i and an increase of rent up to six per cent, of the
