438 inspections were made during the year of premises where
food is sold or prepared for sale in the Borough, the food and
materials being thoroughly examined. The times of these
inspections were varied as much as possible. The wares of a large
number of itinerant vendors were also examined, with satisfactory
results.
SMOKE ABATEMENT.
Numerous observations have been made of the factory and
bakehouse chimneys in the Borough during the year.
Nine complaints were received of black smoke being emitted
from chimney shafts, but upon observation being taken sufficient
evidence could not be produced to recommend your Committee
to take proceedings against the offenders. Cautionary Letters
were writen to several of the owners of chimneys complained of,
and visits were paid to the premises from time to time to ascertain
the quality of fuel and method of stoking.
ICE CREAM MANUFACTURERS AND VENDORS.
The premises of all ice-cream manufacturers in the Borough
were visited from time to time during the summer months, as also
were the barrows and utensils of itinerant vendors. In every
instance the manufacture and sale of the substance is found to
be carried on under satisfactory conditions.
