(d) (Part XI—Manufacture of Ice Cream.)
Section 158 of this Act, which requires the registration of manufacturers
and vendors of ice cream and the premises used by them, came into
operation in the Borough on the 1st February, 1934, and 61 applications
for registration in respect of 58 premises were considered or re-considered
during the year.

Registration was granted in 60 cases (concerning 57 premises) as follows:—

Purveyors retailing multiple firms' productions48
Purveyors manufacturing and retailing their own productions (made apart from domestic premises)9
Purveyors manufacturing and retailing their own productions (made on domestic premises)3

In 1 case, registration was refused as the premises were not suitable
for the manufacture of ice cream. The manufacturer, however, refused
to discontinue, and on the 24th June, at Stratford Police Court, legal
proceedings were taken by the Council for manufacturing ice cream without
registration. The manufacturer was fined 40/-.
There are two local Acts in operation—(1) The Ilford
Improvement Act, 1898, which has important sanitary provisions,
and (2) Ilford Urban District Council Act, 1904, the section of
which (dealing- with the control of Tuberculosis) is now overruled
by the Milk and Dairies Act, while the section dealing with infectious
disease has enactments similar to the Public Health Acts of
1907. Sections 62 and 63 only of Part IV of the Public Health
Act, 1907, have been adopted.

1927.
