BYELAWS UNDER SECTION 15 OF THE FOOD AND
DRUGS ACT, 1938.
Under this Section two traders were warned for contravening
the Byelaws, but it was not found necessary to
take statutory action.
CLEAN FOOD CAMPAIGN.
The work of the Bexley, Erith and Crayford Clean Food
Traders Guild still goes on, and while increasing membership
may appear to be slow, it is distinctly progressive, and there
are indications that it will shortly improve considerably.
One must realise that so far as multiple firms and Cooperative
Societies are concerned, membership of various
clean food campaigns can mean quite a large financial outlay,
but it is pleasing to note that almost without exception, such
firms in this area have signified their willingness to become
members. As there may be a need for structural alterations
in the case of smaller businesses, there will inevitably be a
delay in the admission of such premises to membership of
the Guild, especially where they are leasehold.
ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION.
As a member of the Thames-side Advisory Committee
for the Abatement of Atmospheric Pollution, the Council
are submitting for analysis monthly samples from a deposit
gauge situated within the area.
The results of these samples provide interesting data on
the amount of pollution, and its variations due both to atmospheric
conditions and the standard of efficiency of the
precipitators in use at the various works.
