Food Supply.
The markets and shops are regularly inspected. Two Inspectors
are on special duty during busy market hours. The
food is usually good, but 15 consignments were, last year, condemned
as being unwholesome, and on one occasion several joints

responsible person was prosecuted and fined £5.
There is still room for improvement in the matter of food
protection, and one would like to see Regulations framed controlling
all food similar to the Meat Regulations. It seems a little

is not protected from dust or road splashings. A common practice
is to expose for sale fruit and confectionery on stalls and
shops fronts. Vendors' attention has been frequently drawn, but
with little success, to dust blowing on cakes or into an ice-cream
vessel near to which people stand eating and waiting to be served.
On such points one is often regarded as a faddist.
Bakehouses.
