All the registered premises were under a regular
periodical inspection. During the year two cases of
infectious disease occurred upon premises where milk
was sold. The regulations under the above Order
appertaining to the stoppage of sale of milk,
disinfection, and the granting of certificates thereafter
were strictly enforced under my directions by the
Officer carrying out the transferred duties. There
were 69 applications made during the year for
Registration of Premises for sale of Milk, and after
inspection certificates were granted.
SUMMONSES ORDERED.
During last year your Council and the Public
Health Committee gave authority for 9 summonses to
be taken out against persons for having failed to
comply with the requirements of notices which had
been served. In most cases before summonses were
issued a letter was written to the perscn in default,
informing him that the Public Health Committee had
ordered the summons, and asking him if he was willing
to give an undertaking in writing that he would
forthwith comply with the notice which had been
served. In all cases the undertaking was at once
given, and it was not found to be necessary to apply
for a summons. It has been the object of the department,
as heretofore, to take out as few summonses as
possible, but at the same time in no instance to allow
anyone to defy the authority of your Council.
During last year no summonses were taken out
through the Public Health Department.
PUBLIC MORTUARY.
During last year 216 bodies were removed to the
mortuary at Fulham Palace Road. There were 160
bodies brought to the mortuary by order of the
Coroner or the Police; 42 of these were taken from
the West London Hospital and 56 bodies were received
for accommodation.
