The number of cows kept in the District at about the
end of the year was 168. The premises generally have been
kept in a satisfactory condition, and, with the above-mentioned
exceptions, the Regulations have been well carried
out.
ICE CREAM PREMISES.
The confectioners' shops and other places where ice
cream is manufactured or sold were visited during the
summer months in order to see that the provisions of Part 5
of the County of Middlesex (General Powers) Act, 1906, were
being properly observed.
In one instance the condition of the premises in which a
large quantity of ice cream was manufactured was such as
to be likely to render the commodity injurious to health.
The occupier was informed that a continuance of the business
would not be allowed, and the shop was subsequently closed.
In another case the name and address of the manufacturer
was not exhibited on a barrow being used by an
itinerant vendor. This omission was promptly rectified,
however, upon his attention being called to the requirement
of the Act.
The premises now on the Register at which ice cream is
sold number 32.
SLAUGHTERHOUSES AND MEAT AND FOOD
INSPECTION.
There are eleven licensed slaughterhouses in the District
and the licence of one of these is subject to annual renewal.
The usual frequent inspection of these premises has been
carried out, and the bye-laws have been generally well
observed. The lighting of one slaughterhouse has been improved,
and the floors and walls of another properly repaired.
