Unsound Food.
Large quantities of unsound food are received from outlying wharves
and sent into the Bromley North Division for destruction; such food
stuff is not allowed to be destroyed until the District Inspector has
verified the amount and weight of each load sent from the wharf to his
district. The goods are then destroyed under his supervision. The
following quantities have been destroyed so as to prevent its reappearance
on the market as a cheap food for the working class. The residue is used
only for cattle food and manure.
Total destroyed:—
5,445 tins of various meats.
80 tons wheat.
6 tons wheat.
5 cwts. 2 qrs. 18 lbs. (Panak).
25 cases oatmeal.
2 tons 3 cwts. 2 qrs. (Beef).
Smoke Nuisances.
A few smoke nuisances have been notified, but on the service of an
intimation in each case the nuisance was abated.
Offensive Matter.
There is a great improvement in the manner in which offensive
material is conveyed through the district. Only on two occasions were
carriers cautioned, but the nuisances were very slight.
