ADMINISTRATION OF THE FOOD CONTROLLER'S ORDERS.
The male Sanitary Inspectors continued during 1919 to make the necessary
inspections and purchases of samples, under the supervision of the Medical
Officer of Health as Enforcement Officer of the St. Pancras Local Food
Control Committee, for the purpose of securing the enforcement of these
Orders. This work has been done mainly after ordinary working hours. The
details are set out in the table inset.
