Ice Cream.—At the end of the year 209 premises were shown in the Register of places
within the Borough where ice cream is prepared or sold. Fourteen places have been added to the
Register and 2 have been removed during the year, the net result being that the number of
premises upon which ice cream is made has been increased by 12. The trade is regulated under
the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1902, which makes it an offence to store ice
cream in a sleeping room or in any shed or room in which there is an inlet to a drain. Vendors
of ice cream are also required to notify the occurrence of infectious disease amongst their employes,
or amongst persons living on their premises. The Act further provides that every itinerant vendor
shall exhibit on his barrow the name and address of the person from whom the ice cream has been
obtained. 231 visits to ice cream premises have been made by the inspectors during the year.
