"Power is given to any duly authorised officer of the Council
"to enter and inspect the premises of any manufacturer or vendor
"of or merchant or dealer in ice-creams or other similiar com"modity

"not exceeding forty shillings for each offence.

"vending his wares from any cart barrow or other vehicle or
"stand must have his name and address legibly painted or
