or prepared for sale in the Borough, the food, material, and trade
utensils being thoroughly examined. It will be seen that a large
amount of Bacon was destroyed. The bulk of- this formed part

the early stages of the war. The contents of a large number of
fishmongers' and fruiterers' stalls were inspected and found satisfactory.

be carried on under satisfactory conditions. Several vendors
were cautioned as to the condition of their utensils and premises.
