The premises were forthwith inspected and various works executed
on the service of the Board's notice.
The shops, food stores, and stalls have been regularly inspected

I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
CEPHAS FOAD, Assoc. San. Inst.
Sanitary Inspector and Inspector under Sale
of Food and Drugs Acts.
Poplar South Division.
