sent to vendor.
The milk taken on delivery at the Institutions in the district has
proved genuine.
Public Health Act (London), 1891.
In one case of extremely bad overcrowding the occupier of the room
was sunxmoned and a fine of 20s. and 21s. costs inflicted, or in default
14 days' imprisonment. The defendant went to prison, and later was
again summoned and again went to prison for six weeks in lieu of paying
the heavier penalty inflicted. On being released he had to join the
Army, some of his children being sent to Langley House and his wife
going out to work.
The defendant was in regular employment and paid no rent for about
nine months. He had only one room to live and sleep in for the whole
family of man, wife and six children.
When requested, I have visited the jjfaces, together with a representative
of the Local Government Board and inspected the foodstuffs
and Army rations being dealt with and found everything very satisfactory.
The factories and workers were exceptionally clean, and the conditions
under which work was carried on were very healthy.
Also together with the Local Government Board Inspector I have
visited the whole of the premises in ithe district occupied by Chinese.
