Places of Public Entertainment
The cinemas, dance halls and other places of public
entertainment have been inspected, special attention being given to
the condition and adequacy of the sanitary accommodation. The
defects discovered as a result of these inspections were remedied
after notice had been given to the persons responsible. Eighteen
premises were inspected and a report was submitted to the
Middlesex County Council, which is the licensing authority.
