All cases were treated by the two Rodent Operatives with satisfactory
results.
RIDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT, 1939
The two riding establishments continued to operate and the staff
of the Corporation of London who administer the Act on our behalf were
satisfied with the manner in which they are run.
No complaints from residents were received during the year.
DISEASES OF ANIMALS ACT. 1950
The Corporation of London Officials are still dealing with routine
prevention and during the year there were no contraventions of the Act.
ASIAN COSMETICS
During the year information was received from a neighbouring authority
of an "Eye Cosmetic' used by Asians which had been found, upon anaylysis,
to have a lead content of up to 80%.
All shops in the Borough were visited but none of this commodity
was found. Two similar cosmetics of Asian origin were found to be on sale,
but the lead content of these was found to be within acceptable limits.
BAMBOO FLUTES
A member of the public complained to the department that a flute
made of bamboo was caked on the inside with mud.
The stocks at the shop were examined and found to be in a similar
condition. The matter was taken up with the importers who stated that
the flutes, originating from the Far East, were made from bamboo growing
in swampy conditions. They undertook to ensure that all further supplies
were adequately cleansed.
