Milkshops.
The milkshops have been visited from time to time and found

Ice Creams.
During inspections of ice cream shops and street stalls an alien
vendor was found to have no name on barrow as required by the
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1902. As he could
not understand English a copy of the Act in Italian was supplied
him and the following day was complied with.
The premises where ice cream was made were found fairly
satisfactory.
Smoke Nuisances.
A considerable diminution in smoke nuisances arising from
within and without the district has been perceptible.
The manufacturers appear to be most anxious in the efforts to
prevent any nuisance, and attention drawn to a nuisance immediately
has the desired effect. No summonses were required to be issued
in the case of smoke nuisances from factories.
