ICE CREAM MANUFACTURERS AND VENDORS.
There are 34 premises in the Borough where ice-cream is
manufactured. A Register is kept of all such premises, and the
occupiers supplied with copies of the London County Council
Regulations.
RESTAURANTS AND EATING HOUSES.
There are 24 of these premises in the Borough. The inspections
are usually made at the time when food is being prepared. The results
of the inspection of the food in course of preparation and of the
premises have been satisfactory except in one instance, when it was
found necessary to caution the proprietor as to the quality of the food
being prepared.
REMOVAL OF HOUSE REFUSE.
A reference to the Report of the Borough Surveyor will show the
number of loads removed during the year, with the cost of removal,
etc. The Dust Knockers report daily to the Sanitary Inspectors, giving
a list of houses where refuse was not removed on the previous day
and the cause of such non-removal.
Very few complaints of non-removal were received during the
year.
FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS.
The Register of Factories and Workshops has been maintained.
There are at present 232 Factories, Workshops and Workplaces in
the Borough, and 221 Workrooms which are used as domestic
workshops, all of which were inspected during the year.
