addressed to the Vendor and the) Wholesalers, drawing attention to the matter,
and information was also sent to the Medical Officer of Health of the district in
which the producing farm was situated. A further sample of certified milk taken
subsequently from the same dairy was found strictly to comply with the requirements
of the Order.
Public Health (Dried Milk) Regulations, 1923.
Very few brands of dried milk are sold in the Borough. Five samples were
obtained during the year and found to comply with the Regulations, which are
generally similar to those with regard to condensed milk.
Margarine.
There are eight registered wholesale dealers in the Borough.
Bakehouses.
At the end of the year 1935 there were 19 bakehouses in the Borough of which
13 were factory bakehouses. Although these are described as "factories" they
are not large and only supply local needs; a number were formerly workshops and
are now classified as " factories " owing to the installation of machinery.
During the year, in addition to my inspections, there were 32 inspections of
bakehouses, and three notices were served.
Sale of Fish.
During the past year 19 inspections were made of the fish shops and fish
stalls in the Borough, exclusive of market street inspections. There were 13 fish
shops, of which eight were in the Central Fish Market (a part of the Smithfield
Central Markets, Farringdon Road, the fish being sold by retail). Both wet and
dried fish were found to be sold at all the shops; at five, shell fish was also sold.
In addition to the shops referred to above, there are eight stalls in the Borough for
the general sale of fish. There is also a shop in the Borough for the sale of shell fish
only and two for the sale of stewed eels. These premises were also kept under
observation.
Fried Fish Shops.
There are also 15 fried fish shops. These are regularly inspected to see that
they are kept in conformity with the By-laws made by the London County Council.
