Public Health (London) Act, 1891.
All cases of infectious diseases notified during the year have received
attention with a view to tracing their origin if possible.
Very many visits to premises have been paid respecting notifications
of tuberculosis, and where possible, precautions taken upon advice
tendered to the patients and household generally.
Eespecting the " closing order " made last year at the Thames Police
Court for a house in Guildford Road, I was summoned to attend the Court
regarding the order being rescinded. As the work under " notice " was all
executed no objection was raised and the " order " was duly cancelled.
" Proceedings " have been commenced against a Covent Garden firm
of fruit merchants, and also against their salesman, for selling unsound
tomatoes to a stall keeper in the Chrisp Street Market. For the
present the matter is in abeyance pending the hearing at the High Court
of Justice.
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1904.
Under this Act some 20 rooms have been successfully freed from
vermin. No legal proceedings were necessary to ensure this result as the
particular section of the Act requiring this work to be done is now more
thoroughly understood.
The public-house urinals, as far as possible, have been kept in a
cleanly state.
Ice-Cream Regulations.
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1902.
All premises where ice-cream is made have been inspected and
attention given to all the utensils used. They have been kept in a
most clean and satisfactory condition.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
JOSEPH JOHNSON, R.P.C.,
Cert. San. Insp. Exam. Board (London);
Sanitary Inspector and Inspector
under Sale of Food and Drugs and
Canal Boats Acts, West Combined
Division.
