Ice Cream Premises.
The confectioners' shops and other places where ice cream
is manufactured or sold were visited, as usual, during the
summer months, and the undermentioned infringements of
the provisions contained in the County of Middlesex (General
Powers) Act, 1906, were suitably dealt with, viz:—Existence
of drain inlets in part of premises where ice cream was made,
2; premises insanitary and unfit, 1 ; name and address of
manufacturer not exhibited on barrow, 1.
In regard to the insanitary premises it was necessary to
serve statutory notices requiring the execution of a considerable
amount of work, including entire new drainage, paving,
and the making good of general dilapidations. After some
delay, however, this work was duly carried out. The other
matters mentioned received proper attention at once.
The premises now on the Register at which ice cream
is manufactured or sold number 37.
Slaughterhouses and Meat and Food Inspection.
An application for a licence to erect a new slaughterhouse
at Lodge Farm, Bishops Avenue, East Finchley, was
received and reported upon. This application was granted
by the Council, together with a licence to use the same, the
latter being subject to renewal at the end of one year.
The slaughterhouses in the District now number 13,
eleven of these being licenced for an indefinite period. Two
of the slaughterhouses are very seldom used, but killing
usually takes place in the others on at least one day in each
week. 243 visits were made to the premises by your Inspectors
during the year, and in accordance with our usual
practice, the visits were arranged to take plaoe at such times
that slaughtering was likely to be in progress. A large number
of carcases and organs thus came under observation, and
those which were found to be diseased or unsound were
destroyed.
