ICE CREAM.
Periodical inspection of these premises was carried out and the
necessary cleansing and repairs enforced.
Very few street barrows were in use during the year.
The number of premises on the register at the close of the year
was 121, an increase of 7 on the previous year. The number of
inspections during the year was 217.
As usual the business was done chiefly during the summer
months, and carried on by Italian wholesale dealers, confectioners
and itinerant street vendors.
The sale appears to be conducted more in small shops and confectionery

are not always of a very cleanly character.
No legal proceedings were necessary during the year.
Notices were served in 5 instances for various defects.
