conditions injurious or dangerous to health, and insanitary conditions
varying in their nature from slight to grave were discovered to the
number of 1,240 ; 551 Intimation Notices, followed in 81 cases by
Statutory Notices, were complied with. 2,933 re-inspections were
made, making a total for the year of 5,365 inspections.
The difficulties in securing a reasonably prompt abatement of
the nuisances intimated to the owners or occupiers of houses, even
when these have been followed by Final Notices, have led to great
delays, for which we receive many complaints.
FOOD INSPECTION.
The slaughter-houses (3), bake-houses (27), and dairies (68),
situated in the Borough, were all inspected during the year.
During the year many systematic efforts were made to detect
the sale of diseased meat within the Borough, and I am glad to
say that, with few exceptions, our inspections have not called
for seizures. Two tons and twelve hundredweight of unsound
food was voluntarily surrendered during the year. Premises where
food is prepared and stored have been kept under supervision.
The Dairies have been systematically inspected during the year.
The milk supply of Stoke Newington is good on the whole and
is improving year by year. Some of it is excellent; and residents
can obtain from local dairymen special, " Graded," milk, such as
"Certified Milk " and " Pasteurised Milk," in bottles.
One application for registration as a purveyor of milk was
refused.
Licences to use the designation "Certified" were granted to the
following Firms:
1. Supplemental License to Manor Farm Diary, Ltd.
2. Supplemental License to Welford's and Premier Daries,
Ltd.
3. Supplemental License to D. E. Jones.
