Ice Cream. One building was altered to the requirements of the Depart- ment, and subsequently registered for the manufacture of ice-cream. 21 premises were registered for the storage and sale of ice-cream. There are now 95 premises in the area which are registered under the Food and Drugs Act in connection with ice-cream ; at six of the premises ice-cream is manufactured. At only one of these six premises is the cold-mix method used. The product of one of the local manufacturers was constantly placed in Grade 4. All advice and assistance was given by the Department to the manufacturer concerned but he appeared incapable of producing ice-cream of a reasonable quality. As a result of informal action by the Department he discontinued the manufacture of ice-cream for the remainder of the season, with a view to obtaining more modern apparatus for the following season.
