Legal Proceedings under the Public Health (London) Act 1891 and
Bye-laws.
In pursuance of the different orders of authorisation (15) granted by
the Public Health and Housing Committee, it has not been found
necessary to institute legal proceedings in any case for the abatement of
nuisances and non-compliance with the London County Council's and
Poplar Borough Council's own bye-laws, as the nuisances were satisfactorily
abated previous to applying for summonses.
Milk Shops and Milk Sellers.
I have by your instructions made periodical inspections of premises
where milk is stored and sold throughout the district with the objectof enforcing
the regulations of the "Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Order of
1885,"as amended by the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Amending
Order of 1886, and the London County Council (General Powers) Act,
1908, Section 5 (Milk Clauses), in respect to the sanitary condition of the
premises, cleanliness of measures, counter pans, means of storage, and
prevention of contamination, particularly in respect to other articles kept
for sale in the same premises; where old measures were found to be in
use (porous) new ones have been provided, also where the counter pans
were not properly covered instructions were given to have proper ones
provided.
