the object of detecting nuisances and any infringement of the London
Council General Powers Act, 1902. The barrows were found to be
legibly marked with names and addresses, etc., of vendors, also utensils,
and the premises in question were clean and the ice-creams were
wholesome.
Factory and Workshops Inspections.
Nuisances arising within the several factories, workshops, workplaces,
etc., were dealt with. The whole of the ascertained business premises
above described were inspected and found, in the majority of cases, to be
in fair sanitary condition. In the remainder the work of repairs,
cleansing, etc., has been carried out in compliance with "intimations,"
notices, etc.
Smoke Nuisances.
I have, where a nuisance has occurred from smoke emitted from any
chimney other than belonging to a private dwelling-house, viz., factories,
workshops, workplaces, etc., either on complaint or from my own personal
observation, and in most cases the nuisances complained of were abated
on the service of "intimations," and when necessary followed by
statutory notices. In only one instance was it necessary to resort to
legal proceedings against a firm in St. Leonard's Street, which resulted in
a penalty of 40s. and 23s. costs inflicted for smoke nuisance.
Canal Boats.
I have inspected 39 barges, 38 non-registered and one registered
Bailing barge, with the result that I have found the cabins fairly clean, and
no infringement of regulations discovered.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
RICHARD E. MINERS,
Sanitary Inspector and Inspector under
the Sale of food and Drugs Acts
and Canal Boats Act, Bromley
Central Division.
