A copy of the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926, Avas
furnished to each cowkeeper in the Borough, and
his attention was drawn to the requirements of the
Order at the time it came into operation. Renewed
representations were made during the year to the London
County Council, as the licensing authority for cowhouses,
concerning the unsatisfactory character of
certain of these premises, which are of such old construction
and so situated as to be difficult of alteration
to comply with modern standards. It is to be hoped
that some action will be taken in the matter during
1931, as a continuance of the present situation cannot]
be justified from a public health point of view.
Ice Cream Premises.
There were 151 ice cream premises recorded at
the end of the year, and 347 visits were paid to them
by the district inspectors: 28 notices were served.
Fried Fish and Fish-Curing Premises.
At the end of 1930 there were 46 fried fish vendors'
premises in the Borough, at two of which curing was
also carried on. There ware 14 fish curers' premises,
including these two. Two hundred and forty-eight
visits were made by the Food Inspectors to these
premises, and 6 notices were served for insanitary
conditions.
Workshop Bakehouses.
There are, in Bethnal Green, 44 workshop bakehouses,
13 of which are underground: 117 visits were
made to them during the year, resulting in the serving
of 8 sanitary notices.
Factory Bakehouses.
There are, in Bethnal Green, 24 factory bakehouses,
8 of which are underground. In every case the
mechanism used, which causes the bakehouse to be a
factory, is a dough mixer.
