Manufacture of Ice Cream.
The confectioners' shops and other plaoes where ice cream
is manufactured or sold were visited during the summer
months, in order to ascertain that the provisions contained in
Section 29 of the County Council of Middlesex (General
Powers) Act, 1906, were being properly complied with.
The premises now on Register at which ice cream is sold
number 39.
In several instances, the conditions under which ice cream
was being manufactured were not satisfactory, and thjeeo
cases were suitably dealt with.
Slaughterhouses.
During the year, the slaughterhouse situated at Lodge
Farm, The Bishops Avenue, East Finchley, was permanently
closed, the land belonging to this farm having been secured
for building purposes in connection with the extension of the
Hampstead Garden Suburb.
A change of occupation occurred at No. 55, High Street,
North Finchley, for the second time during the last two years,
and the new occupant has been duly licensed.
There are now eleven private slaughterhouses in the
district, and the occupier of each of the premises is licensed
by the Council for a period of not less than one year.
With one or two exceptions, all the slaughterhouse are
old buildings, which show little or no evidence of having been
expressly designed for the purpose for which they are used.
