In suggesting regulations for the control of barrows and stalls on the same
line as shops and other places, it will be desirable to follow the Sub-sections of
this Section—
(a) No barrow or stall from which food is sold should be allowed to be
stationed immediately adjoining a urinal, water closet, earth closet,
privy, ashpit, or oilier like sanitary convenience.
(b) Any water used in connection with any barrow or stall from which
food is sold should be clean water contained in a clean receptacle,
and such water should be renewed, and such receptacle cleansed
sufficiently often to maintain them in a cleanly condition.
Barrows and stalls from which are sold shell fish already prepared
for food, or vegetables eaten without being cooked (such as watercress,
lettuce, radishes, celery, etc.), should be provided with at least
one special receptacle of pure clean water, and no impure or unclean
water should be used for such shell fish or vegetables.
