A practice has been adopted that when retail vendors become
aware that articles of food purchased of wholesale dealers are
unsound and unfit for human consumption, they attend with the
same at the Public Health Offices, and if satisfied that no attempt
has been made to sell the articles, they are condemned by the
Vestry's Officers, and cremated at the Dust Destructor, and a
certificate is given in support of any claim upon the wholesale
firm who originally sold the same. This no doubt prevents a
large amount of unsound food being offered for sale.
The whole of the butchers, fishmongers, fruiterers, and other
tradesmen's premises have been kept under close and frequent
supervision both on week days and Sundays, and in two cases it
was found necessary to effect seizures. In one case proceedings
were taken and the defendant fined, and in the other the defendant
was cautioned and called upon to pay the costs incurred by the
Vestry.
