ICE CREAM.
During the year there were 70 premises in the Borough where ice cream
was manufactured or sold, and in addition to my inspections 77 inspections
of these premises were made.
As ice cream is often made in the early morning, inspections between
6 and 9 a.m. were also occasionally made in order to ascertain whether there
were any infringements of the London County Council (General Powers) Act.
1902.
UNSOUND FOOD.
Applications were received for removal and destruction as trade refuse of
the following articles of food, all of which were unsound and unfit for the
food of man:—
155 pecks strawberries. 1 trunk cod fish.
1 ease cat fish.
OFFENSIVE FUMES FROM FACTORIES.
Only one complaint of nuisances from offensive fumes was received during
the year. This was apparently due to a temporary defect, as no nuisance was
found on inspection.
SMOKE ABATEMENT.
The smoke shafts in the Borough were frequently kept under observation.
In only 32 cases the inspections were recorded, and in few cases were
smoke nuisances discovered.
