case they need not be wasted, but are still available for food.
Offensive Businesses.
There are still two premises in the borough of offensive businesses
under the offensive trade regulations of the London County Council, viz.:—
Messrs. Wheen & Sons, Ltd., Copperas Street.
Messrs. Hill & Sons, Ltd., 1 Frankham Street.
Number of inspections during the year 23
The premises were periodically cleansed and limewashed in
accordance with the regulations.
I am pleased to report that very few complaints were received in
reference to these premises, and that they were well supervised.
