Cow-houses.
There has been no licensed cow-house in the Borough since the

this is, in my opinion, desirable.
Ice Creams.
Yery important, and much needed legislation dealing with the
manufacture, etc., of this commodity came into operation on the 1st
November, 1902, when the London County Council (General Powers)
Act became law.
The duty of enforcing these regulations is placed on the Sanitary
Authorities, and with a view to a careful supervision over the manufacture,
storage and sale of ice cream, I have prepared a register of all
vendors, whose premises are now regularly inspected.
The London County Council supplied extracts from the above Act
relating to the storage and sale of Ice Creams, and these have been left
with every person on the Register.
The following is a copy of the Notice: —
