The Public Health Committee appointed a
Sub-Committee which visited several shelters provided
by other Vestries in the Metropolis, and
considerable time and trouble was taken to suggest

were taken under the Public Health
(London) Act, and with one exception penalties
were inflicted.

had a beneficial effect upon the Growers, Dealers
