Housing and Town Planning Act, 1909.
The premises, 3, Ingelheim Cottages, West Ferry Road, closed as
unfit for human habitation by an order of the Council under the above
Act have been put in habitable repair and are now occupied
Premises where Food Stuffs were Sold or Prepared for Sale
Periodical inspections were made of the following premises :—
Bakehouses, 7.
Slaughterhouses, 1.
Tiipe dressers and sausage makers, 8.
Dairies and milk shops, 20.
Ice cream vendors, 19.
Coffee shops and dining rooms, 28.
Fish shops, 9.
In all cases where cleansing, limewashing, or other works of sanitary
improvements were necessary the matter was brought to the notice of
the occupiers by written intimation, which in every case was complied
with. The regularity of the periodical inspection of these premises has
impressed upon the occupiers the necessity of cleanliness and limewashing,
etc., of kitchens and places where food is prepared or stored.
This was proved by the amount of work already completed or in progress
(without notice) at the time of my visits.
Riverside Wharves and Food Preserving Factories.
Frequent visits were made to the wharves and factories, and records
were kept of all unsound foodstuffs and methods of destruction.
Food Preserving Factories.
