Ice Cream Regulations.
Tn the month of August, I found an Italian itinerant vendor of
ice cream selling the article to some school children in my district
in contravention of the London County Council General Powers
Act (part 8), in so far as there was no name and address on his
barrow. On questioning the man, I found he came from the Limehouse
district. I communicated with the Sanitary Inspector for
that part, in order that the premises where the ice cream was made
might be visited. Legal proceedings were instituted, and a fine
of £1 with 23s costs was imposed, oi in default 11 days' imprisonment.
Housing of the Working Classes Act.—Part II.
Closing Orders.
The premises known as Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, Prospect Place, King
Street, and 1, 2, 3, Eagle Place, King Street, were in such a condition,
and the surroundings so unsuitable with regard to light and
ventilation that "Closing Orders" were obtained at the Thames
Police Court, and in the case of the former 25s. costs on each
summons, and in the latter 4s. costs on each summons, were allowed
by the Magistrate.
