In the case of one application for registration, in view of the fact
that the premises were not suitable, the Public Health Committee
refused the application and decided that a notice should be served
upon the applicant in accordance with the provisions of the London
County Council (General Powers) Act, 1932, to appear before them
to show cause why the Council should not refuse to register the
premises in question. The applicant carried out the necessary works
and the premises were subsequently registered.
In another case an application was refused on the grounds that
the premises were not suitable, and a similar notice was served upon
the applicant, who did not persist in his application and the premises
were not registered.
(b) Cooked Meat, etc.—Up to the end of the year 48 premises
have been registered as required by the London County Council
(General Powers) Act, 1932.
Section 5 of this Act requires that the owner or occupier of
premises which are used or proposed to be used for the preparation
or manufacture of sausages, or the potting, pressing, pickling, or
preserving of meat, fish or other food intended for sale shall be
registered with the Sanitary Authority. The list which was prepared
of articles of food which are deemed to come within the scope of the
Act was set out in my last Annual Report.
(vi) Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act, 1928.
The Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries has made Regulations
which are enforced by the Borough Council's Sanitary Inspectors

the Act, placed upon the Borough Council by virtue of its being the

One vendor of tomatoes was cautioned by instruction of the
Public Health Committee during the year for exposing tomatoes for
sale by retail without bearing the correct indication of origin.
