Milk Shops and Milk Sellers.
I have by your instructions made periodical inspections of the
premises where milk is stored and sold in the district with the object of
enforcing the regulations of the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Order
of 1885, as amended by the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Amending
Order of 1886, and the London County Council (General Powers) Act,
1908, Section 5 (Milk Clauses), in respect to the sanitary condition of the
premises, cleanliness of the measures, counter pans, means of storage,
and prevention of contamination, especially in respect to other articles
kept for sale in close proximity to where milk is kept.

Overcrowding.
During the year seven cases of overcrowding were dealt with; in
each case the nuisance was abated after service of an intimation followed
by a statutory notice, without recourse to legal proceedings.
Outworkers.
The premises where male outworkers live and work have been
inspected, no case of overcrowding discovered, premises were found to be
in a sanitary condition.
Coffee Houses, Restaurants, Private Hotels, Sausage Makers, Fried
Fish Shops, etc.
Periodical inspection has been made of these premises during the
past year; change of proprietorship, new premises opened and those
closed have been duly reported and noted in the register. At each inspection
particular attention was paid to the food under preparation, and in
no instance was there cause for complaint; in some cases it was necessary
to serve intimations and statutory notices respecting cleansing of the
kitchens, etc.
Hairdressers' Shops.
The whole of the hairdressers' shops throughout the district have
been inspected, the sanitary conditions of the premises, cleanliness of the
articles used in the business being carefully noted. In some few cases
intimations were required to be served. Generally there is a marked
improvement in these premises.
