Inspection of Market Thoroughfares.
During 1909, the market thoroughfares have been under
bi-weekly special inspections by the Sanitary Inspectors,
2 inspectors being on duty at a time —Saturday nights (9 to
12) and Sunday mornings (9 to 12). The market thoroughfares
are Atlantic Road, Wandsworth Road, New Cut,
Lower Marsh, and Lambeth Walk. No unsound food had
to be seized by the Inspectors under the sections of the
Public Health (London) Act, 1891, but in several instances
vendors were cautioned, and unsound food was voluntarily
surrendered. These systematic inspections are, of great
value in securing wholesome food being exposed, on stalls
and in the shops, for sale.
At the commencement of the summer, a circular letter was
sent round to the greengrocers throughout the Borough,
reminding them of the necessity of having all refuse (greens,
etc.), removed forthwith, so as to prevent a nuisance from
its decomposition due to heat.
Outside Urinals of Public Houses.
During 1909, the outside urinals connected with public
houses have been under inspection, and notices have been
served as required.
