ICE CREAM.
These premises received special attention during the season of
the year in which the business is carried on, and, where necessary,
cleansing, etc., carried out.
I am pleased to report that the reduction in the number of street
vendors is maintained, very few street barrows being used in the
borough. This is an advantage, as the practice is subject to many
dangers, such as the repeated use of the glasses, etc. by different
persons (and these principally children), without constant and efficient
cleansing. Every effort is made to make the vendor carry a supply
of clean water on the barrow, but the Italian itinerant vendor is not
the most careful tradesman.
The number of premises on the register at the close of the year
was 132 ; 18 being added and 14 removed.
These include (in addition to the Italian makers), Confectioners,
Bakers and Sweets Sellers' premises.
The number of Inspections was 197 ; 17 notices being served.
One prosecution was taken during the year, viz.:—Breach of
regulations in using a street barrow, without name and address
therecn, and a fine of 10s. and 2s. costs was imposed.
