Most of the persons spoken to on the subject of larder accommodation state
that they have no need for a larder, as they clear out from day to day, and so
have nothing to store in the way of perishable food. This is no doubt
usually the case, but it is obvious that a suitable larder cannot fail to be
required occasionally.
The meat and other foods purveyed in the City restaurants is inspected in
the course of the ordinary visits of the Inspector.
