The premises of Messrs. Wickens, Pease & Co. have been
dismantled, and no boiling or melting has been carried on during
the year. The premises are now only used for storage, and they
are consequently removed from the Register.
Ice Cream Premises.
At the end of 1909 there were 274 of these on the Register.
During 1910 28 were added and 15 removed, leaving a total of
287 on the Register. 427 inspections were made of these premises
during the year and 51 notices were served, all of which were for
cleansing.
Houses Let in Lodgings.
At the end of 1909 there were 275 houses let in lodgings on
the Register. 17 were added during 1910 and none removed,
making a total of 292 on the Register at the end of 1910.
790 inspections of these were made during the year, and 511
notices were served, 59 for overcrowding and 452 for other conditions,
chiefly cleansing. With regard to one premises a summons
was issued for failing to cleanse, and a conviction was
obtained.
On the whole the By-laws have been satisfactorily complied
with, although in some instances the cleansing was not carried
out at the specified time.
