Special Proceedings.
Chadbourn Street, No. 4A.
Water supply cut off during summer recess of Council,
"Intimations" only served, proceedings taken under
12th section Public Health (London) Act, 1898.
Summons dismissed on failure of proof that the person
who appeared was liable, or the owner of premises.
Rescindment of Closing Order.
I was summoned to attend the Thames Police Court on the
16th January to shew cause why the owner of the premises, No. 59,
Tetley Street should not be released from "closing order" made dated
8th November, 1900. The premises had been put into habitable
repair to your satisfaction, no objection was made, and the order was
cancelled.
The market places and stalls have been regularly inspected
throughout the year. I have on several occasions, upon tradesmen's
application, examined the articles of food purchased by them at the
markets, and when found to be unsound, unwholesome, and unfit
for food, I saw the same destroyed and dealt with as trade refuse,
and I have given the necessary certificates to that effect, but in no
instance was any article of food exposed for sale at the time of my
visit in such a condition as to justify seizure.
I have by your direction made the periodical inspection of bakehouses,
served "intimations," and, where required, notices for the
necessary work of cleansing and repairs to be carried out.
The register of dairies, milk shops and milk purveyors, has been
corrected from time to time. Those found to be non-registered had
signed forms of application in compliance with your instructions and
had their names inserted in the register. Constant attention had
been given to the enforcement of the regulations, but in no case had
an infringement been discovered.
