Verminous Rooms.
During the course of year 21 rooms were cleansed; it was not
necessary to enforce the provisions of the London County Council
(General Powers) Act, 1904.
Eating Houses, Coffee Shops, Pork Butchers, Sausage and Brawn
Makers' Premises, Fried Fish Shops.
Inspections were several times made of the whole of the abovedescribed
business premises and all necessary works of cleansing and
repairs carried out, in some cases without the service of "Intimations,"
etc.
In no instance upon such visits was there cause for complaint so
far as the condition of food was concerned.
Cowsheds, Milk Sellers and Purveyors.
The above (51) premises were frequently visited, the Public Health,
etc., Office Registers corrected in the cases of those found non-registered
through change of occupancy. The new proprietors were supplied with
forms which were duly signed for the required alteration. Constant
attention was given to the enforcement of regulations relating to
cleanliness of utensils, more particularly in compliance with the
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1908, relating to the
sanitary conditions and surroundings under which milk was sold.
Upon notice received for renewal of the licence of a cowshed at
27, Abbott Road, the premises were again inspected and found to be in
sanitary order; no opposition to the application of the licensee to the
London County Council was made.
Unsound Food.
I have, upon application made by tradesmen and itinerant vendors,
examined articles of food (mostly fish) purchased by them at the markets,
and when found "unsound, unwholesome and unfit for food" recommended
them to make application to the salesmen for recompense.
At other times I have not found any article of food "exposed for
sale, deposited for sale, or in preparation for sale" at any premises in
such condition as to justify seizure.
