OTHER FOOD PREMISES.

and of the contraventions found and remedied, are set
out in the tables given on pages 91 and 92.
On the coming into force on 1st January, 1939, of the Middlesex
County Council (General Powers) Act, 1938, the Borough
Council resolved to adopt immediately Section 70 and 71 of the
Act which relate to notice of slaughter of animals unfit for food
and the registration of hawkers of meat, fish, fruit and
vegetables and premises.
These sections are a valuable addition to the control of food
and its storage. While it would appear likely that there will be
but few notices of slaughter given to the Council under Section
70, the section is a useful one. With regard to Section 71, it
may be looked upon as a distinct advance which will be most
helpful in the routine control of food and its handling throughout
the Borough.
