Places where Food is Prepared.
The 36 coffee and eating houses and other premises where food is
prepared have been specially inspected, and the food-stuff on the premises
examined with satisfactory results.
Unsound Food.
The market places have been regularly inspected. In no instance
was any article of food exposed for sale at the time of my visits in
such a condition as to justify seizure.
During the year 6 boxes of mackerel, 1 trunk of plaice and 1 box
of cod being unfit for human consumption, were surrendered at the
Public Health Department Offices and destroyed by owners.
Factory and Workshop Acts.
The workshops, workplaces and outworkers' premises on the Register
have been visited, and the terms of the Acts relating to them have been
required by notice, where necessary, to be complied with.
No summonses were necessary, as the works were immediately
executed on the service of intimation or notice.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM BOYCE,
Sanitary Inspector, Inspector under tht
Sale oj Food and Drugs Acts, and
Inspector of Canal Boats, Bow
West Division.
