COW-HOUSES.
(See List in Appendix)
The number of licensed cow-sheds in the Borough is 19; all these
have been frequently inspected, and are in a fairly satisfactory
condition.
The annnal licensing day was Monday, October 27th. Two of
the licenses were opposed by the Officers of the London County
Council. The particulars were as under: —
55, Kerbela Street, occupied by Rees Evans, who had failed to cover
the woodwork of his shed with sheet zinc.
2, Lisbon Street, occupied by John Hughes. He also had failed to cover
portions of the woodwork of his shed with sheet zinc, and had also neglected,
at the appointed time, to whitewash the walls.
In both instances the licenses were granted, but were held over,
pending the completion of the necessary works.
Thomas Edward Jones, of 44, Squirries Street, did not apply for a
renewal of his license, which accordingly lapses.
MILK-SHOPS AND DAIRIES.
The retail milk-shops in the Borough number 344. These businesses
(many of them carried on in connection with small general
shops), are constantly changing hands, and as the license to sell
milk is personal, each change necessitates a reinspection of the
premises, and a fresh entry in the register. During the year Mr.
Bare made 1,248 inspections of retail milkshops; eight unregistered
persons were found selling milk. Nine notices were served in
respect of dirty utensils, and two milk sellers were prosecuted at
Worship Street for failing to keep their premises and utensils clean
after repeated warnings and notices. These were : —
J. L., of Brick Lane. Fined 5s. and 10s. 6d. costs.
L. T., of Bacon Street. Fined 20s. and 2s. costs.
