FOOD PREMISES.
The Slaughter-houses licensed in the Parish have during the year been
kept in accordance with the Bye-Laws.
The Cowsheds licensed have also been kept in compliance with the regulations,
with one exception. The premises licensed to Mrs. Jones, in Edward Street,
Hampstead Road, were not in an altogether satisfactory condition at the time of
the Licensing Sessions, in November, but they have since been transferred to a
new occupier and have improved.
The Dairies and Milkshops, so far as the storage of Milk is concerned, are
controlled by the County Council. Milkshops especially, require some limitation
of the articles that may be dealt in on the same premises as such a perishable
and absorbtive fluid as milk.
The Bakehouses are inspected twice annually, and the proper cleansing
enforced, the promised Amended Factory Bill will probably require the registration
of Bakehouses.
