in the district where male labour is employed have been inspected,
the number engaged in each case being checked, particularly in respect
to overcrowding; the terms of the Acts relating thereto have been met

during the year.

the view of detecting nuisances, also any infringement of the London
County Council's (General Powers) Act, 1902, Part viii. Each itinerant
vendor's barrow and utensils have been inspected. In each case the
manufacturer's name was found to be legibly affixed thereto, the ice
cream and utensils were found to be satisfactory, and there was no
cause for action to be taken.

necessity to institute legal proceedings.
