Ice Cream Manufacturers and Itinerant Vendors.
In accordance with your instructions, the whole of the premises
where ice cream is prepared were inspected, with the view to
detecting any infringement of Part VIII. of the London County
Council (General Powers) Act, 1902. Each Itinerant vendor's
barrow was inspected to see that the manufacturer's name was legibly
fixed thereto, and an examination was also made of the ice cream
and the utensils. In no case was an offence detected.

on examination proved to be unfit for the food of man. These
were condemned by the consent of the Manager, who stated they
were not intended for sale, as they were kept separate from the
sound tins.
Male Outworkers.
Rooms where male outworkers are employed have been inspected
in connection with premises where cases of infectious
diseases have been notified, the sanitary arrangements have been
examined, drains tested, and any defects found duly remedied.

Court, was reported. The usual Notices were served upon the
tenant landlord, who applied to Mr. Mead, at Thames Police Court,
for an ejectment order. The tenant landlord stated that the rooms
had been measured up by the Sanitary Inspector and found to be
badly overcrowded, and he had given the usual Notices to the
occupier; thereupon the Magistrate requested me to attend the
