PLACES WHERE FOOD IS PREPARED FOR SALE.
Under this head are included kitchens of hotels, restaurants and eatinghouses
of all sorts, slaughter-houses, tripe, offal and other meat shops, fried
fish, eel and other fish shops, premises where ice cream is made, and other
places where food is prepared for sale, excluding bakehouses which are given

streets are also regularly inspected on Saturday evenings and Sunday
mornings.

Lion Street, which, in addition to my inspections, was inspected on 7
occasions during the year. Only sheep are killed.
