mittee were advised, however, that it would be difficult to
obtain a conviction in such a case. It would appear, therefore,

Ice-Cream Shops, Restaurants and Kitchens.
41. Sixty four places where ice-creams are sold or prepared
for sale are on the register, 17 having been added, and 2
removed during the year. These were all inspected thrice,
and four notices served. 54 Inspections were also made of
restaurants, kitchens and other places where food is prepared.
17 notices were served and very considerable improvements as
regards cleanliness and lighting of some of these places secured.
Disinfection.
42. Disinfection of rooms, bedding, &c., was performed after
all notified cases of infectious disease, and after death from
Phthisis, or removal of the patient, gratis. In cases of
Measles, if an application is made, disinfection is performed
free of charge. In other infectious diseases, verminous rooms,
&c., disinfection is performed by request, and a charge made
sufficent to cover the expense incurred.
43. Altogether rooms were disinfected at 744 houses compared
with 687 and 945 in the two preceding years. In most
cases the disinfection was by Formalin tablets, 25 being used
per 1000 cubic feet.
44. The Manlove and Alliot disinfecting apparatus originally
fixed at the dust destructor station at Woolwich, has been
removed to the Electric Light Works, White Hart Road, where
two archways have been fitted up for the disinfectors under
the approach to the tipping platform of the Dust Destructor.
