ICE CREAM.
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1902,
Section 43; London County Council (General
Powers) Bill, 1911.
About the middle of the year 1910 all the known premises within the
Borough where ice-creams are manufactured were inspected. There are
151 such premises within the Borough, 67 Poplar, 52 Bromley and 32
Bow. (See Table A, page 171.)
Cleansing of premises was necessary in 35 instances. 26 other
nuisances were remedied.
See Inspectors' reports, pages 235, 239, 245, 254, 261, 268 and 276.
London County Council (General Powers) Act 1902,
Section 43.
Section 43 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act,
1902, requires that every ice-cream barrow shall bear the name and
address of the maker of the cream. In a prosecution by the Greenwich
Borough Council of a vendor for neglecting to exhibit his name and
address, the summons was dismissed on the ground that the defendant,
having removed the wheels from his barrow and sold the ice-cream from
a tub (part of the body of the barrow), was not selling from a barrow.
The Greenwich Borough Council asked the London County Council
to secure an amendment of the law in order that the provisions of this
section may be applied to stalls; and the London County Council Public
Health Committee desired to know whether the Poplar Borough Counci
was in favour of such amendment. The Public Health and Housing
Committee recommended the Council to inform the London County
Council the Council is in favour of the amendment proposed.
