Dairies, Milkshops and Offensive Businesses.
The milkshops and offensive businesses in the district have
been periodically visited; an intimation in the case of offensive
business being sufficient to secure amendment.
In one or two instances, milkshops have changed hands without
the incoming tenant registering, through ignorance of existence of
regulations. On their attention being directed to infringement,
they immediately registered. In three instances, attention has
been drawn to rusty and broken condition of measures, resulting
in the condition being forthwith remedied. The conditions of
storage vessels, and utensils generally have been very satisfactory.
Two vendors have permanently discontinued sale of milk, and
three shops have been newly added to the register.
In the case of a fat melters from which odoursi escaped periodically,
a larger extracting fan was recommended to be employed.
The fan was accordingly provided, and the nuisance apparently
abated at once.
At the Thames Police Court on the 28th October, a bone boiler
was fined 20s. and 23s. costs for allowing offensive matter to be
carried through the district, and not contained in proper vessels,
during prohibited hours.
The carman was at the same time fined 1s. and 2s. costs in
respect of the same offence.
For a similar offence another firm was summoned, the offenders
were fined 20s. and 23s. costs.
Canal Boats.
Ninety-four boats have been examined; on three of the registered
boats an infringement of the Acts or regulations was discovered, as
follows: —
