Dairy, Milk Sellers and Purveyors.
The cow-sheds and milk purveyors' premises were frequently
inspected, and the register kept at the Pubilc Health
Offices corrected in the cases of those found to be
non-registered, through change of proprietorship of business,
the new occupiers were furnished with forms in accordance
with your instructions, which were signed, and particulars
inserted in register. Constant attention has been given to the
enforcement of the regulations relating to cleanliness of utensils,
premises, etc., but in no case has any infringement been discovered.
Upon notice received for renewal of licenses the cow-shed at the
rear of 27, Abbott Road was again inspected, found in fair sanitary
condition, no objection was raised to the application of the owner
of business.
Examination of Food.
I have on several occasions, upon different itinerant vendors'
and tradesmen's applications, examined articles of food purchased
by them at the markets, and when found "unsound, unwholesome
and unfit for food of man" witnessed same destroyed by the
owners, and have given certificates to that effect. In no instance
was there any article of food "exposed for sale, deposited for sale,
or preparation for sale," at the time of my visit in such condition
as to justify seizure.
Ice Cream Makers and Vendors.
As directed by you, all the premises where ice cream was made
were inspected, with the view of detecting nuisances, and any
infringement of the London Council's (General Powers Act 1902).
I he barrows used by the itinerant vendors were examined to see
that they were legibly marked with their names, etc., also care
taken that the premises in question were placed and kept in fair
sanitary condition, and that: the ice cream was wholesome, and the
utensils, etc., with surroundings, satisfactory.
