The 20 instances where matters needed attention included 12
cases where the premises generally, or kitchen and scullery particularly,
needed cleansing and lime-washing, 4 where the sanitary
arrangements were defective and 4 for want of ashpit.
In addition to the periodical visits and inspections of food
shops, etc., supervision is also exercised on Saturday evenings and
Bank Holidays.
No seizures of unsound food were made during the year, but a
number of tradesmen voluntarily surrendered certain articles of
food as unwholesome or unfit for the food of man in addition to the
meat already referred to, particulars of which are set out on page 56.
Ice Cream Premises.—There were 121 premises known at the
commencement of the year where the manufacture of this commodity
was carried on ; 27 have been added during the year and 15
taken off, leaving a total of 133 premises. These premises were
inspected on 140 occasions, improvement required by way of
cleansing of the premises in 8 cases, and insanitary conditions
remedied in four instances. In 2 cases the sale of ice cream was
discontinued owing to the unsuitability of the storage arrangements.
