Markets and Stalls.
Much attention has been paid to these with a view to preventing
the sale of unsound food. Night inspections 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 quantites 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
this district. The goods are then destroyed under supervision The
following quantities have been destroyed so as to prevent its re-appearance
on the market as a cheap food for the working class. The residue is used
only for cattle food and manure.
Total destroyed:—
2,852 tins of various meats; 20 qrs. of oats; 169 bags of
pepper; 5 boxes of kippers; and tons of unsound meat from the
Docks.
Smoke Nuisances.
No smoke nuisances have been notified from outside authorities
during the last year, and where black smoke has been noticed, a visit
to the firm caused better attention to be paid to the stoking of the
furnaces.
Offensive Matter.
There is a great improvement in the manner in which offensive
material is conveyed through the district.
