Ice Creams.
The County Council (General Powers Act, 1002, contains
sections dealing with places where Ice Creams or other similar
commodities are made or stored, but unfortunately no provision
has been made for the registration of these places. These provisions,
which came into force on November 1st, 1902, have
been brought under the notice of the persons concerned, and
arrangements made for the regular inspection of the premises.
Six samples of Ice Cream taken from street barrows were
submitted to a bacterioscopic examination, and in 5 the Bacillus
coli was found, which is indicative of uncleanly preparation.
Unsound Food.
The stalls or places where food is sold and stored have
been regularly inspected throughout the year. Proceedings
were taken in two instances for exposing for sale unsound food,
and penalties of £5 with £5 5s. costs and £2 with 2s. costs
imposed. Three lots of fruit and fifteen of fish examined at
the request of the owners were condemned and destroyed.
