ICE CREAM DEALERS.
The London County Council (General Powers)
Act, 1902, which came into operation on the 1st
November, 1902, by Part VIII. made provision for the
regulation, manufacture, and sale of ice cream or other
similar commodities.
The duty of obtaining the necessary information
for the registration of premises upon which ice creams
are made has been carried out as heretofore by Sanitary
Inspector S. Huggons Brown. At the present time
there are 172 premises upon the register and 24 notices
have been served, all of which have been complied with.
Sanitary Inspector S. Huggons Brown, besides
having charge of the work appertaining to ice cream
dealers, supervises the duties which were transferred
from the London County Council in reference to the
registration of premises where milk is stored or sold; also
cowsheds, slaughter-houses and offensive trades.
The following is a table in reference to the abovenamed
