Ice Cream Shops.
There are many of these shops throughout the district, but on a
small scale; the owners only supply the ice cream during the summer
months, and during that period frequent visits are made and the utensils
inspected. The place where the ice cream is stored overnight is particularly
investigated.
Schools.
There are 5 in the Bromley North District and these are visited
twice a year re drinking water supply and w.c. accommodation. On each
visit everything has been found in perfect order.
Markets and Stalls.
Much attention has been paid to these with a view to preventing
the sale of unsound food Night inspectors have also been made, and
good results have been obtained.
The class of meat sold, has, in my opinion, been sound and fit for
human food.
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:—
6,941 tins of various meats.
11 tons, 5 cwts., 2 qrs., 16 lbs. meat.
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. In one instance only was the
driver and owner fined for improperly conveying offensive material
through the street.
