These bylaws have considerably strengthened our hands in dealing
with the premises themselves, the persons employed, the utensils and
the removal of refuse, and during the year we were able to serve notices
upon nearly all these businesses to remedy certain defects in the carrying
on of the trade.
There are 33 fried fish shops in the Borough. 225 inspections were
made to the same, including 91 evening inspections. 21 notices were
served.
Fish-curing Premises.
There are 17 fish-curing premises in the Borough, 28 inspections
were made and 4 notices served.
Ice Cream.
These premises received the usual attention during the season of
the year in which the business is carried on, and where necessary,
cleansing, etc., were carried out. In the case of street barrows, every
effort is made to make the vendor carry a supply of clean water on the
barrow ; but, as remarked in previous reports, the Italian itinerant
vendor cannot be accused of over care in the matter of cleanliness.
The number of premises on the register at the end of the period
under report was 145; 25 being added and 18 removed.
The number of inspections was 237; 4 notices being served.
In two instances summonses were applied for against vendors for
failing to exhibit their names and addresses on the barrows. One
defendant was fined 2s. and 2s. costs, and the other 5s. and 2s. costs.
