ADMINISTRATION OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH (MEAT)
REGULATIONS, 1924, AS REGARDS STALLS, SHOPS, STORES
AND VEHICLES.
No contraventions of special importance occurred during the
year. Such breach of the regulations as were discovered by the
inspectors during their routine visits, were dealt with informally,
and successfully.
Fortunately, there are no " gutter stalls " used in the district.
SALE OF FOOD & DRUGS ACTS.
I am indebted to Mr. H. C. Card, Chief Food and Drugs Officer
of the Essex County Council for the following particulars of samples
purchased and submitted for analysis during the year :—
Milk. Butter. Miscellaneous. Total. Prosecutions. Fines.
55 64 44 163 — —
No occasion for prosecution arose during the year.
IMPROVEMENT OF EXISTING HOUSING CONDITIONS.
During the year, the Minister of Heaith approved the Barking
Town (Parson's Row) Improvement Scheme, 1926, and a commencement
was made on the erection of flats in Gascoigne Road, in which
a number of the tenants are to be rehoused.
Sufficient progress had not been made in December, 1927, however,
for any rehousing to take place.
The sanitary inspectors continue the policy, wherever possible,
of raising the standard of fitness, and in this connection, blocks of
houses in Trafalgar Street and Grove Place, were provided with
water supply and sinks inside the premises.
