observed, and the constant supervision and immediate removal of
each infected person had certainly protected others from coming
into personal contact with them.
I have on several occasions, upon different tradesmen's application,
examined articles of food purchased by them at the markets,
and when found to be unsound, unwholesome, and " unfit for food
of man," I saw the same destroyed and dealt with as trade refuse,
and I have given certificates to that effect, but in no instance was
any article of food exposed for sale or deposited for the purpose of
or of preparation 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 sanitary repairs to be carried out.
The cowshed at the rear of 27, Abbott Road, dairies, milkshops,
and milk purveyor's shops have been periodically inspected and the
register corrected. Those found to be non-registered through
change of proprietorship had signed forms of application in compliance
with your instructions, and had their names inserted in the
register. Constant attention has been given to the enforcement
of the regulations relating to cleanliness of premises and utensils,
etc., but in no case has an infringement been discovered.
By your direction frequent inspections have been made of schools
in my district, all of which were found to be kept in fair sanitary
condition.
One notice of intention (Mr. Joseph Gurney, 27, Abbott Road) for
renewal of cowhouse licence had been received.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
RICHARD E. MINERS,
Sanitary Inspector,
Inspector under the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts,
