V.-FOOD.
§ 1.—POOD PREMISES.
Food Inspection.—As usual, the places where food is prepared and sold have
been frequently inspected and the stock examined, and with few exceptions
have been found satisfactory.
The cowhouses and slaughterhouses have also been regularly visited. A
large number of animals were killed and dressed at the slaughterhouses during
the course of the inspections, the carcases and organs being subsequently carefully
examined with a view to the detection of disease.
The markets and market streets have been specially inspected on Saturday
nights and Sunday mornings during the four summer months from June to
September.
At the Conference of Metropolitan Cities and Boroughs on matters relating
to Public Health, the following resolutions ware pussed in reference to places
where food is prepared and exposed for sale :—
(a) That it is desirable that regulations should be made to limit the
pollution resulting from exposure in an improper manner, in public
places or adjacent to the public way, of food and food receptacles.
(b) That it is desirable that all places where food is prepared for sale
should be regulated by by-laws made by the London County Council
and administered by the Sanitary Authorities, and should be subject
to annual licensing by the Sanitary Authority.
