PROSECUTIONS UNDER "FOOD AND DRUGS ACT."
Fines were inflicted amounting to £63 5s. 6d. in 19 cases.
SCAVENGING AND DUSTING.
It was necessary repeatedly to report to your Vestry that the Contractor for the
Eastern Division was unable or unwilling to carry out the terms of his Contract—he
was, therefore, fined £26 10s., being 10s. for each of 53 cases of neglect. This appeared
to produce no effect, the Vestry, therefore, imposed a further fine of £200, being £5 for
each of 40 cases of neglect to remove house refuse. Following thereon it became
necessary to employ vans and labour to remove snow and mud from roadways, and,
finally, to cancel the Contract. The total deductions for fines and cost of work done
amounted to £583 12s. 6d.
