Inspector, who, under Sec. 20, would, in a case where it was
the purpose of the defendant to rely upon a warranty, forthwith
forward one to the warrantor.
Sec. 30 provides that every local authority adopting the Act
shall procure at least one sample per annum for every thousand
inhabitants.
Sec. 31 would be a very valuable section in that the period
within which a summons must be served is, in a case where a
warranty is produced, not limited to twenty-eight days, thereby
enabling the Sanitary Authority to proceed against the wholesale
vendor.
Sec. 38 provides for the appointment of a Board of
Reference.

Stoving of
Vermin
infected
bedding.
In reply to a letter dated 12th June, 1897, from the
Medical Officer of Health of the London County
Council, asking whether opportunity would be given
to keepers of common Lodging Houses to free the
bedding of their houses from Vermin by means of the
Vestry's disinfecting apparatus, I have arranged that
in any case where in my opinion such would be desirable this
shall be carried out by the Vestry's contractor. At present, no
application has, however, been made.
Removal
of Manure.
During the year the Public Health Committee of
the London County Council .have had under consideration
the subject of nuisances arising from accumulations of
manure in London districts, and in connection therewith Section
36 of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, which provides for
a sanitary authority to employ or contract with scavengers to
collect or remove the Manure and other refuse matter from any
stables or cowhouses within their district, the occupiers of which
signify their consent in writing to such removal.
