The number of restaurant kitchens and eating houses on the
register at the end of 1935 was 125, 2 having been added to the
register and 5 removed during the year. The number of inspections
carried out in 1935 was 263, and in 17 cases it was found necessary

Street Stalls for Sale of Food.
There are 191 street stalls in the borough for the sale of foodstuffs
of varied character.
These were systematically inspected during the year, but no
action was found necessary in regard to the food sold, which is
generally sound and wholesome, and no offences against the statutory
requirements with regard to the food exposed on these stalls
were reported during the year.
Inspections numbering 180 were made of the premises used by
street vendors for the storage of their stocks, but no defects were
discovered calling for action by the Council.
